omg is it really happening???

Kindergarden?!?!?!?!?! Avery's final year of preschool is coming to a close soon. She has come so far. It's truly amazing. At the beginning of this year I had meeting after meeting with her teachers about how she would not talk in class and how she would let her bff answer questions for her. Now you can't get her to stop talking. Her speech has improved so much she has the confidence to start talking to everyone. She will talk to anyone who will listen and even those who aren't. We were in the front yard playing the other day and some peeps riding bikes were riding by. She yelled, "hi bike riders!!" Her confidence is so high now. She takes to our adult friends, she talks to kids she meets on the playground, she talks to her teachers and our neighbors. It just warms my heart every time she opens her mouth lately. Finally she will tell me about her school day and I can understand her and ask question about it and really get a good picture of what when on in her day. She is the strongest little girl I have ever met and I can't believe she is mine. She has worked so hard to get where she is. She inspires me everyday and I'm so proud of her. She is excited for kindergarden. She has asked her speech therapist "which room will be my kindergarden?" Miss Angela (her ST) even walked her to the lunch room to see the kindergardeners. We drive by the school and she says excitedly, "that's my new school day." I can't believe it's almost kindergarden time.
