Ready for 1st Grade

After spring break, Allie told me 'I'm bored with Kindergarten...I'm ready for 1st Grade!'.  We sat down and talked about how even if she 'feels' ready, it's required by the state that she actually FINISH one grade before starting the next.  I think she has accepted the fact that in just over 3 weeks, Kindergarten will be over and then we can officially start calling her a 1st Grader!

Here is her school picture from September:

And the new one from March:

I am in awe at how grown up she looks in the newest picture. Looks ready for 1st grade to me!
