Today was Colby's last day of preschool... well, until next year. What a fun day. The children got to play outside in the school yard and have a picnic (while the parents cleaned out the classroom). It was a little sad saying goodbye, but we plan to be at James Marshall for the next 3 years with Colby and Paige, so that made it easier. I guess the parent participation component really makes it hard for some to leave. Talk to me in 3 years and I bet I'll be crying! We LOVE this preschool:) I am on the board of directors this upcoming year as secretary so I will be even more involved. We'll see how that goes...
Last night was the annual end-of-year celebration for both classes. 50 kids and their families. The children performed "The Little Red Hen" complete with songs and props. Everyone "graduated" in caps and gowns to Kindergarten (or to their second year of preschool). Kind of silly, I know, but totally adorable! Colby got to play the part of "Bob the Pig" (there were actually two Bobs... he he he... I had no idea he would be chosen to play a part at all, Mrs. Brown chose them on the spot) and he did a fantastic job. He really impressed us with his stage presence. He was front and center, serious, full of confidence. He sang all the songs and even did the hand motions! He is not the same shy little boy who started preschool last fall... Like I said, we LOVE this preschool!
The Wittenbergs took pictures for us (like I said I had no idea he would be Bob the Pig and he usually hides in the back, so I didn't even bring my camera) so when I get those pictures, I'll post them. For now, I'll say a little prayer for my sleepy 4-year old and hope for another wonderful school year in the fall. Did I mention we LOVE this preschool?
