Brigitta's Fifth Grade Clap Out

 And then there was one... after all our years of having kids in elementary school, Sydney now has the place all to herself! Brigitta moves to middle school next year. Initially I felt like a good parent showing up for the Clap Out until I saw the parents with signs... and balloons... and plans to whisk their kids right off for some celebratory ice cream. Well, we showed our faces at least!

Super proud of this girl!

Liesel tagged along to cheer her on (and to drive).

Gita's had a lot of trepidation about moving on to middle school which Ireland hasn't been helping. She tells horror stories of things that happen on the bus and in the hallway. Liesel allayed those fears a tiny bit.

I had the chance to meet a lot of Brigitta's friends during Field Day when I met her for lunch. She's surrounded herself with a pretty cute group of friends.

In spite of her fears, I have no doubt she's going to slay in middle school!
