Our Cami is growing up!

Cami's 1st day of 1st grade! All her friends are back this year, and they were so excited to see each other. There are two new girls, and there is one new boy - Cami's cousin Luke! Camille was excited to go back to school and had many little first graders calling her name and passing out hugs! This year Cami's teacher is our long time friend, Ryanna, aka Mrs. Reed. She will have her classroom completely full this year! I am expecting great things for this year for Camille and for her class. They have done a lot of growing up over the summer, and I know they will accomplish a lot this school year.

This was Cami last year on her first day of Kindergarten!

Cami's first big girl book . . .

Little Miss Cami read her first 200 page book this summer. She started to read Charlotte's Web during the end of Kindergarten (and is reading it now again) but decided to switch over to Little Women early in the summer. She has always enjoyed me reading to her ever since she was a baby and has a love for reading now herself. Her kindergarten teacher would call her a "reading machine." She is heading into first grade with a lot of reading under her belt.

I would encourage every parent to read to their children even while they are very young.
