Today Rosie graduated from Pre-K. Rosie has been looking forward to Graduation for a few weeks now, and has been telling us that a lightening bug is also called a firefly. Well, we found out why she kept telling us; this was part of her graduation ceremony. They all told us some "Did you know..." information about bugs. It was very informative!!!!
This frame was a gift to us. You can almost envision her as a high school graduate.
(BTW, when Lia saw the frame later on, she was totally mesmerized by the jewels and the photo of Rosie. "Wow, jewels!", and then she put it in her backpack! Rosie took it all in stride).
The Pre-K'ers also sang songs for us, got a diploma and then we were off to eat cake.
Rosie got herself situated awfully quickly for the cake and was more than content to eat it by herself, with her balloon by her side...
but then Daddy joined her.
Tomorrow (June 23) is Lia's last day of school. It's so bittersweet to know that Lia will be in First Grade. Here's Lia at the end of the year Class Picnic. She was so proud of contributing her dad's famous cake pops!
Lia's favorite teacher in all the world, enjoying a cake pop!
June 23; Lia's bus driver was so wonderful to Lia, all year long.
July 13; Here's Rosie's new beginnings of starting a Summer Bridge Program. She is just ooozing self confidence! She was so excited to get on the bus today (July 13th). I love her hand on her hip. She cracks us all up!!! She might be little, but she is fierce! Lia and I were then racing off to VBS at our church.
August 6; Today was Rosie's last day of Summer Bridge. She is looking like she is ready to take on the world! Same pose, 4 weeks later.
She has so enjoyed the program. Every day, we would wait with such excitement to get picked up by the bus. Rosie is going to miss her teachers and friends, and her bus driver, April (she first thought that her name was Nancy; every bus driver was Nancy, according to Rosie)...
She was so disappointed to not go home on the bus today but thrilled to have me visit for a last day celebration.
Although I'm going to really, really miss the excitement of waiting at the bus stop (and seeing how they dress, what they bring with them, and how they interact),
I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer; more time to enjoy vacations, homemade ice pops, playgrounds, swimming in the pool, and close friends...
