My baby is growing up!

My first baby that it is. Did you know that she lost her first tooth? And of course it was the first tooth that came in (never realized that is how it works). But I am getting ahead of myself here. Well, actually, I am behind but whatever.
The end of May brought a lot of firsts, much excitement and a lot finality. Allie had her last mini dance recital for ballet. She was beautiful, like watching a graceful rose petal. Ok, she is 6. She liked ballet but after the first week or so she said she didn't need anymore lessons because she already knew how to dance. We committed to one year of it so now, that is the end of dance for us.

She had her first last day of school. She was excited about that and that Grandpa was in town to get to be there for her last-day-of-school-kindergarten-picnic (I am so glad they don't do kindergarten "graduation"). She also went bowling for the first time the week before on a very fun field trip.

She ran her first 5k. Ok, she walked while her mom dragged her almost the entire way. The last 200 yards she agreed to run across the finish line.

Toward the end you can kind of see that she sort of wasn't soooo miserable. Still not sure if she enjoyed it in the end.

She also drove her first tractor... but more to come on that shortly.
