Isabelle is in kindergarten

Well It’s official my baby is no longer a baby. She just graduated from preschool. I would love to say that I am one of those moms who get teary eyed at every step in her child’s life. However, it is hard to get teary eyed when you are too busy giggling. Isabelle definitely brought the entertainment this year to the Forrest Hills pre school graduation. From, her excited waving to all of her fans in the audience or her conversations with herself through out the program. The best was when she was taking the stage to except her umm huh diploma. When the teacher called each child’s name they would also announce what they wanted to be when they grew up. Some were police, vets, teachers, actresses, and so on. When they called Isabelle’s name to come up to the stage Ms. Debbie announced that she wanted to be an artist, but Isabelle quickly signaled for her to come down to her level and started whispering and pointing to her school mates. Ms. Debbie listened quietly, and then announced that Isabelle would also like to be a vet. And that’s my child. She is just a free spirit that moves wherever her imagination takes her. I love that about her. I can’t wait to see the mark she leaves on this Earth. She has been the biggest blessing in mine and Matt’s life and we are so blessed to have been given such a gift.
Speaking of gifts, the gratitude I feel towards Forrest Hills Baptist Preschool is far reaching. Not only did Ms. Debbie and Ms. Sally help get Isabelle ready for school. More importantly they helped plant a seed inside her heart. One that is blossoming into a love for God that is far beyond it’s' years. It is amazing to see her little eyes light up as she talks about Jesus and how much he loves us, and how much she loves him. As a mother nothing could make me more proud. I am just so grateful that she was in such a nurturing loving environment. Every day we were met with warmth. I could have been having the worst morning, but the minute I saw the director Ms. Carolynn my mood always shifted. Her words were simple but always with meaning. “We’re so glad you’re here”! It never failed to brighten each day. There were also her daily bible verses that she handed to all those who passed. It was just an incredible place to be. I am so grateful that Isabelle’s preschool memories will be bright, and I pray that all her school years will be as spectacular as this one. What a beautiful day it was. I will never forget it.
