Delaney's graduation from Head Start!

Our sweet little five-year-old princess graduated from Head Start on Thursday night and the school held a ceremony for the class. Delaney is here on the podium proud as can be with her certificate. The hand coming out of nowhere from the right is one of the teachers helping kids bring the diploma down from their face. Every kid posed with it covering their face making pictures a bit difficult!

The girls sang us songs and the teachers read them the story they all wrote together.

Delaney has improved leaps and bound with her comprehension of so much in the classroom and beyond. Much of that credit obviously goes to her great teachers. However, Brittany really pushed for this last summer as we wanted to make sure Delaney went into kindergarten next year with confidence. Even when we didn't initially qualify for Head Start, Brittany still kept on the school to find a place for Delaney as we were worried about some skills she seemed to lack a bit. She met with teachers and administrators, got testing done beforehand, went over specific goals and lesson plans, set up an indivudualized education plan and we tried to do our best being active in her classroom and continue with supplementary "homework" after school. I'm beyond thankful for my wife. She's in her element as a mommy.
