"When I Grow Up"

Jillian's spring program was last night.  And when Jillian found out that she could wear a hat representing what she wants to be when she grows up, we made a phone call to our buddy Chief DaMoude. 

It pays to have connections.  (Blessing #451)

Chief DaMoude shared one of his hats with Jillian for a few days, and boy was she ecstatic!  She's been doing the Happy Dance since we picked it up Tuesday. 

And last night, she got to perform while wearing her dream hat.  (#452)  After seeing the movie "Courageous," Jillian dreams of being a Police Woman some day.  Mrs. Butler always does a great job with these kiddos!  She had the kids singing songs that I sang when I was little.  But my favorite song was the grand finale - This Little Light Of Mine.  (#453)

Jillian loves her first-grade teacher Mrs. Peterson.  She's awesome!  We're blessed by the great teachers our kids have had.  (#454)

Jillian was also anxious to show me her artwork, which was on display in the lobby.  She loves art, and is pretty good at it, too.  We searched for her artwork on the many boards around The Tassel, and found three of them.  The Queen, the Clown, and the Elephant.

 

It's fun to see her confidence grow, and witness the sparkle in her eye when she gets to show off her artistic side.  (#455)
