Mothering Many

Drama is now six, and recently graduated Kindergarten. She received the principal’s award and several other honors. She’s a much quieter child than her siblings, until something goes wrong, and then she can raise the roof with her piercing shrieks. Hence the name, DRAMA. Word is out, though, she’s a faker!

In her less intense moments, she’s getting quite self-sufficient. She can read pretty well, and likes to tell us stories. And she’s getting more and more social. That sounds like she’s been antisocial, which is not what I mean at all. I’m trying to say that she’s learning to demand her share of positive attention in the family instead of crying to get notice. He personality is beginning to real shine, and she’s a lot of fun to be around.

I took all of these pictures on her graduation day. I was so happy to see her so proud of herself. She’s had a very big and change-filled time over the last 18 months or so, and she’s bouncing back like an India rubber ball.

P.S. She was very pleased with her end of school goodies, which included promotional items like free bowling and free french fries and such.
