I didn’t know that they had taken preschool graduation pictures last month (wouldn’t have braided her hair had I READ THE LETTER they sent home. Ack!) So, when I opened the envelope after the teacher handed to me this morning, I cried. I couldn’t help it. It was one of those “punch in the gut” moments where I realize that my children are growing faster than I’d like them too.
That said– she sure is growing into a beautiful little lady and I couldn’t be more proud of everything about her.
Such a sweet picture! What a divine girlie you have, Y. I understand why it would make you cry, though. So big!
Oh, adorable! Also, noooooooooooo. She’s a baby, right?
OMG Look at her! What a beautiful picture.
Awwww. That is SO sweet.
So cute! No wonder you’re crying.
That’s so sweet!!! They grow up way to fast.
So enjoy your posts. She is just precious.
aw this picture is adorable. she is so cute!
That girl takes some damn fine photos! She is one of the most beautiful children I’ve ever seen. (Even with her hair in a braid. 😛 )
She is BEAUTIFUL.
For real.
What a precious picture. I can’t believe she is THAT old!
Ooh-have you bought the gown yet?
I have one in my closet that I’ll give you for cheap if you want.
Who is that beautiful young lady in the picture? It can’t be G as she is only about 18 months!!?? LOL Time flies. She is so gorgeous!
So cute….
Man-she’s a cutie pie! She looks so much older in your pics the last few months. Does your little lady still fart on command? hope so;)
Dude, she looks ready to handle BUSINESS.
Beautiful!
Awwwwwwwwww!
awweeeeeeee she is tooo adorable!!!
Don’t ever let her date.
Awwww. So cute!
Holy crap with the cuteness.
She is so beautiful. She looks like mini teenager!
It’s a”Mini Y”!! My husband called our daughter a “Mini Christi”. Enjoy every minute they grow so fast! Yesterday she looked like G today she is 24! It goes too quick!
she looks so happy and loved and beautiful
Such a wonderful picture!!! I imagine I would have teared up too. I’m a huge sap.
G has a look on her face as if to say, Someday this will be my doctorate.
Little sweetie. Thanks for the pic.
Really…
WHY WHY WHY…. do they have to grow up???
Ugh…
What a lovely little lady. And I like the braid because you can see her whole perfect face. what a sweetie.
Kids are so inconsiderate, growing up on us. ;^)
OMG. SOOOO sweet Y!
It’s enough to make me want to become like the Duggars – so there’s always baby around. LOL
Will you look at her? Beautiful little graduate. I would have cried, too.
She looks so very sweet.
Graduation? From pre-school? Wow, that’s….different…must be an American thing I guess. I’ve never heard of that myself.
Great picture but I find the concept of “graduating” from something other than school a bit peculiar…
Sorry to repeat everyone else, but what a beauty she is!
My mom has a similar picture of me “graduating” from kindergarten in a wee cap and gown. It was taken many, many, many years ago (will not admit when, just say that I’m older than you).
The camera loves her! She is such a beauty!
Last child in preschool is buttersweet. My son “graduated” in the spring. I was so excited to move on from the half-day pickup but not ready to let him go to school for a full-day. It’s now March and he is doing just fine in full day after a rocky start. I’m adjusting well, too. Still miss his little face peering around my office door at 1 p.m. asking to watch Diego. Good times!
And that last post should have read “bittersweet.” Perhaps I should have my 5-year-old type my posts. Seriously he would probably do better than me!
Sweet baby girl!! Congratulations to you.
So pretty! I think she looks like her Mama 🙂
Also- how did she get so darn big??
omg. Stop. It. So. Cute.
😀 😀
i know the feeling.
My little girl turned 1 yesterday. I agree. Time goes by WAY too quickly! And while I feel like I spent a lot of time with her there are SO many little things I can’t seem to remember.
I don’t want to forget a single thing, but I guess that’s not quite possible — and unfortunately, neither is stopping time! 🙂
*thud* She is growing up so fast. They all are. Make it STOP.
SO SO SO SO PRECIOUS!! If our girls don’t get to play together soon, somehow, some way, I think I will die.
I remember when she was just a baby with wings on your header. :: sniff :: So pretty. She’s amazing.
How immensely adorable! She’s growing up quite beautifully =)
longtime reader… I stumbled upon these pics of a family on another site and HOLY SHIT this looks like your daughter!

Oh lordy I can only imagine the potential “ugly cry” issues surrounding this.
