Our kindergarten graduate!






Lan hasn't been to school since 4/15 but attended her kindergarten graduation tonight. Her little classmates were so excited to see her and were full of questions about her foot. What a treat to know that Lan has so many friends. I did have to laugh as one little boy was talking to her very loudly and a classmate pulled him away and whispered sharply, "She can still understand what you say you know!" I guess seeing her in a wheelchair perplexed the little boy into thinking that much more of her was compromised.

At the very end, her teacher stood to say that her class decided to do a service project and they did it for Lan. She then unfolded a sweet purple tied quilt where each quilt was signed with a picture drawn by her friends, teachers and principal. We will certainly take that to Shriners for the next two weeks to be wrapped up in hugs by all that love!!
