Graduation, Performances, & Ouch!

I realize it seems a little silly to graduate from Pre-School with a cap and gown, but man is he a looker or what?!?  Josh had so much fun this year with his new group of friends - we were just grateful there were lots of boys.   Each student got to say what their favorite part of school was and what do you think he said . . . CRAFTS. 
Here's my cheesy grinner surrounded by some classmates, guess what class he will graduate in?  2023 - Wow.  He told me that he was in the very front because he was really good at the songs.
Jessi had her Gymnastics Performance on Tuesday and rocked!  The song she did her routine to was called, "Dollhouse" and I think everyone in the family could sing it to you.  She has absolutely loved the floor routine this year so we have heard her practice it many times (kind of like Quinn & her piano recital pieces).
This is Emily, Jessi, & Arelli - her fellow gym buddies.
This is the shelf above Halle's crib.  Now imagine Halle waking up to Shelby bouncing up and down in the crib with her singing, "Jesus wants me for a sun BEAM!"  We hung the shelf high enough that an infant couldn't reach, but we obviously weren't counting on older siblings.  Shelby reached up to grab the green dragon piggy bank and pulled the whole shelf down on top of the two of them.  I heard a big crash then winced, waiting for the scream.  Shelby screamed, Halle started to cry, & Josh came running while sobbing, "It fell, it fell!"  I am so grateful Halle only got a little bump on her head, it could have been so much worse.  So here's to surviving your older siblings!
P.S. Halle got her first tooth today!

Yay for the first tooth! So sorry about the crash! It somehow reminded me of my girls the other day. While getting in the car Ashley got her whole hand stuck in the door. I was in the house and heard the screams. I ran out to the garage and all three girls were crying. Sammy had already opened the door and rescued the hand. So I asked why they were ALL crying. Sammy said, "Because we were scared!" Hope Josh survived, too. Was he scared for Halle, or Shelby?
