Yah the Kindergarden Graduate

so, i have been doing some seinor portraits. most of the photo shoots have been down town ontartio.

while photographing my cousin, Yah asked "mom, why are you taking L's pictures?" "because she is graduating, honey," i replied. "oh, ... well mom, i am graduating too. will you take my pictures?"

wow she is graduating from kindergarden. but we had a photo shoot just the same as the high school seinors. they could not be taken in the back yard, oh no, she had to go downtown ontario just like the big girls. oh dear, she is only five, but going on 19...

the pics turned out great and all the grands and greats were happy to get a collage of their favs. aunts and uncles too.

she is a willing subject, if it is her idea. poses must be the same as she saw other girls do. and i must treat her like a big girl. if only she would act like a big girl all of the time. well, maybe not too big. a meduim girl would be ok with me.

Yah is very intelligent, and is reading at a grade 2.4 level at the end of kindergarden. wow, she is a lot like her mom. i hope she keeps the willingness and excitement to learn her whole life long. she makes me so proud.
