what a difference a year makes

chloe finished kindergarten and now has a whole year of school under her belt.  i'm proud of how she's grown over the last 9 months - in so many different ways.  although when she started last fall, i was concerned that she often seemed self-conscious and overly eager to please, her teacher identified her as a confident leader in the class by her end of the year conference.  

i thought these two pictures summed it up perfectly.

first day of school... eyeing up the new girl


end of the year class picnic... new girl turned bff

  1. How totally precious!

    I loved watching Jack this year - seeing him grow in so many areas in his first year of preschool. I LOVE the pictures - wow, what a difference!
