Are you tired?

"No, no bed" - I love moments like this, I can totally appreciate the drive to stay awake for a good bowl of popcorn and movie. 

Last day of preschool for now - Jace

Second year of preschool complete!  This is Jace on his last day of preschool for this 2011-2012 school year.  This year has been one of definite growth for Jace.  He can spell his name, he knows all of his colors, he can count to 25.  But most importantly he is starting to use his words!! Seeing his growth thru school has been a relief for me and for him as well.  He likes school and is doing well.  Although he does like the classroom, I am sure he would play outside all day if the teachers let him :)  He loves to sing and dance to all of the preschool songs (cutest thing ever).  He is so sweet and happy, the teachers love him...of course.  

Good job, Jace for finishing your 2nd year of preschool.  You are such a sweet and gentle kid but you are learning to stand your ground and we are happy to see that.  You have good manners and it makes us so proud that you always use your "please" and "thank yous" - this will get you far and that fact you are such a cutie will also be a great attribute.  We love you little guy!  xoxo.

Ready for Kindergarten

Finish preschool - check and check.  Brooklyn was so lucky to attend two preschools and she equally loved both. Seeing her growth while attending school has been so rewarding.  Sitting through her parent/teacher conferences at the end of the year and hearing how ready for Kindergarten she is makes me proud and a little bit teary.  I can't believe she will be starting Kindergarten in a few short months.  It has gone too fast but it has been so bittersweet being along for the ride.  

Congrats Brooklyn for completing pre-K and graduating from the ROCKET program.  We are so proud of you, not only for the little intellectual you are proving to be but also and (most importantly) for what a sweet and happy kid you are. Oh, how we love you sweet girl! xoxo.
