The poor little crumb ball was so sick, but she wasn't about to miss graduation -- and the last day of school. I don't remember what sickness she had, but we deemed her un-contagious and off she went.
Ruby and her super great teacher, Miss Halter. She was a bit strict and not as sweet as the other Kindergarten teacher, but in her defense, the other teacher could be in a Disney movie.
The walking to shake hands and receive her diploma picture. I was miles away and have since learned about shutter speed.
Since Ruby didn't feel ever so well, we stayed home for dinner and celebrated by decorating sugar cookies.
(that boy sitting next to her is Preston Carr-- he's in our ward and Ruby wrote in her daily journal about 6 different times saying "I like Preston". "Preston is my friend". "I love Preston" and other things like that. Maddy pointed out that Ruby only said she liked Maddy one time :)Some things about Ruby and Kindergarten:
She's naturally funny, but doesn't really like people laughing at her. (who does)
She's messy. She's been called the Tasmanian Devil by her mother.She's taller than Maddy was at this age and wears stuff Maddy wore in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade.
She was the only one in her class to score a 100% on her end of year testing!!
She doesn't LOVE reading.
She LOVES being read to. or too.
She'd rather do anything than go shopping. Even if we're buying stuff for her.
She learned to tie her shoe. But hasn't learned to ride her bike.
She LOVES to pick up and hold Daisy.... Daisy does NOT love to be picked up or held. BUT... Ruby can make Daisy laugh the fastest out of anyone.
For her birthday, she wants a water party, and She's been planning it for months.
She's so sweet, and is always making random crafty stuff for us.This year, she stuck a Lego up her nose.
She's ALWAYS cold unless she's HOT.
She never (and I mean NEVER) clears her dishes after meals.
She's a really super kid.
First Grade doesn't have a chance.

She's the closest kid I've ever met to actually being Junie B. Jones, so I also wish her 1st grade teacher a lot of luck. Mostly she will just need luck not laughing her bum off all the time. Sometimes I have that problem at school with my own Junie Bs. I want to look mad and annoyed, but only I can't because the disruptive thing they did/said really was super-funny. Plus, I love that Ru even if she only loves me because of my iPhone.
That Ruby Ru is darling inside and out. Congratulations, Ruby, on your big day. You will love first grade!
Oh my. Good luck to the poor momma and poor pappa. Poor Maddy who is only mentioned once. Poor Daisy who has to be totted around. Poor grandma, who doesn't get to see Miss Ruby as much as she wants to. Poor Ruby, living in Outer Mongolia. Poor world, it's going to be changed. First by Miss Maddy who is going to charm the pants off it, and then by Miss Ruby who is going to do something, I don't know what, but she will be smiling and the world will be disarmed. Then along comes Miss Daisy, who, whooeee. Who knows what Miss Daisy is going to do!? Good luck Smith household.
PS She had an upset stomach. She threw up in her bed and she had stomach cramps while she sang her songs. She was a trooper.
