Home stretch!!!

I only have 121 more DAYS left before I graduate from school!!!!! I went today for my orientation for Internship II and then I went and took my last certification test and I PASSED!!!!! I had to take the last test and it was my subject area test for K-6 and it was on ALL subjects....math, language arts, music, art, P.E, social studies and science.... it had 224 questions on it and it took me about 3 hours to finish the test! I took it on the computer so I could get my results right then and there, otherwise I have to wait like a month to get the results, and well I couldn't wait that long for the results. I was so nervous when the lady handed me the results and had to look at it like 3 times for it to sink in on me that is said PASSED!!! So all I have left to do is finish my internship and I will be be done with my bachelors degree.

I also got my placement for my internship and I will be in a kindergarten room, which is exactly where I want to be! I love working with the young kids! That will start on Monday and I will be at the school five days a week for like 14 weeks! Everything is finally coming to an end!

Realization

Tonight I made cupcakes and was getting ready to frost them and Allyson came in the kitchen asking if she can help. She pulled out a butter knife and got to work. I had to stop and look at her because this is the first time that I did not have to pull the kitchen chair over for her to stand on and make sure she was ok before I could get started on mine. It dawned on me that she was growing up and was able to reach the kitchen counter just fine without the help of the chair! And just a side note, she frosted 3 cupcakes and then went off to play, she had her fill of frosting them for the night!!
