first to last

today was piper's last day of kindergarten.

where did the year go?

she started the year knowing her alphabet, shapes, colors.

now she can read.  she knows her address, phone number, and lots of other things, like how to play games, the rules to duck-duck-goose, how to sing.  she has favorite bible verses.

she has gained confidence, courage, and a sense of self.

she has lost teeth, lost shyness, and lost her "toddler"-ness.

how did this happen already?  and how amazing is this?
