And we're ready for summer! School is out, Jacob has finished his first year of preschool, and we're done with all the pomp and circumstance. Hurray! Today was such a busy day because we had to get ready for school, get Jacob to his pre-commencement practice, go to the ceremony, eat lunch and then scramble to get Merrilee to gymnastics. And it was accomplished with no short tempers or loss of self control on anyone's part. I am so relieved and very thankful.
Jacob and the other kids did a great job singing their songs and standing in line to receive their diplomas. His teacher even gave each kid a bucket of goodies to take home: candy, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. It was really nice of her...she's a very thoughful teacher. I hope he gets her next year, because she really is good for him. Lots of patience and praise.
Merrilee enjoyed her first gymnastics class and was so excited to tell me all about it after it was over, even though I stood and watched for the entire hour. She was especially excited that she learned new stuff already. I hope she finds it satisfying enough to stick with it.
Here are a few photos of Jacob's past year in preschool. Just looking through the CD of photos the teacher gave us, it makes my head spin that preschool could be so full of activity. I could never be a preschool teacher!
