School's Out For Summer!

Today was Liam's first official "Last Day of School" and the class celebrated with a family picnic. Too bad it rained like it was November instead of June!


Some end-of-year highlights:
* Liam's teachers telling me how chatty he is in class. He was pretty shy at the beginning of the year and he's come a long way. He talks quietly but he has a lot to say, and is often the first to pipe up and answer questions in the group.


* The teachers presented each of the kids with a photo album with pictures of them from throughout the year. Liam sat down and thoughtfully flipped through each page. I was watching from the sidelines with the other parents and noticed him smiling to himself at a few of the photos.
* Sarah feels right at home at the preschool and with the teachers. She sat down beside Liam at circle time and participated in the songs, keeping up with the actions to "Mr Sun" just like all the other kids. When we left she shouted "Bye, Teacher Ruth!" and gave all the teachers a big hug. She still has another year before she gets to attend preschool for real, but when she does she is going to rule the school!
