Last day of school

I cannot believe I am the mother of a 7 year old, almost 2nd grader! How did that happen so quickly. It's been a struggle this year with school, realizing after changing schools, that this was not the right school for her, but having to stick it out the rest of the year was hard. The overly academic, strict, and competitive environment was not a nurturing ground for our creative, free spirit Piper. But through it all she remained true to herself, maintained friendships, and powered through the hardships, so we could not be prouder! She has grown so much this past year, letting go of her princess and tutu passions, and moving on to climbing, spiders and slime!
