Hair cut day

Leilani and her daddy both got their hair cut.  Michael cut of 12 inches and donated it to Locks of Love.  Leilani got 4 inches cut off to make it a bit more manageable for the summer.

We headed over to "Grandma Delma's" salon so the excitement could begin.  (Grandma Delma is the mother of my best friend, JeNora.  Delma is my 2nd mother and has been doing my hair since before I could drive! She is Leilani's other Grandmother.)

 Leilani's hair

 So excited to have her hair curled.

 When one of your grandmothers is a hairdresser, you get a Barbie Hairstyling Doll as a gift.  Leilani has been styling this dolls hair non-stop for the weeks since her haircut. 

GGG

Great Grandma Gloria (Triple G) came to visit and her grand children and great grandchildren gor together at Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch.  Leilani is always happy to see Triple G.



Preschool Graduation

Leilani will be headed off to Kindergarten in the Fall.  But first, she and her classmates received a proper send off from Tutor Time.  It was a rough day for us because she has been at that school for more than half of her little life.  We LOVE the staff there and give them credit for Leilani's love of school. 

 During the ceremony, each of the kids had to demonstrate something they learned during the year.  Leilani demonstrated 8 colors (in English, Spanish, and sign language) Here she is signing the color "yellow"

 Then they all recited a poem:

 

Here is a bunny

with ears so funny

And here is his hole in the ground.

When a noise he hears,

he pricks up his ears,

and hops into his hole so round.

When they were awarded their certificates, they stood up and told the audience what they wanted to be when they grow up.  "My name is Leilani Kerry Flowers and when I grow up and want to be a teacher."
