Last days of school

Wednesday was Anna's last day of school and Thursday was Ian's. The end of school is bitter-sweet. I miss the routine of the school year along with the set Wednesday I have to take care of chores, errands and volunteering. But I also enjoy summer because we can make our own schedule, explore our community via field trips with friends, go swimming, and just be more relaxed.


The last week of school was a fun one for Ian. His class got to have a pizza party, make a birthday cake and have a party to celebrate all the summer birthdays, and our favorite was Wacky Wednesday. He and all his classmates got to dress "wacky" for school. He picked his own outfit - mix/match shoes and socks, camo shorts, his super hero shirt with cape attached that says Super Ian (courtesy of his super crafty Gram this past Christmas) and his favorite Spiderman baseball cap. I was thrilled to get a photo of he and his best little girlfriend, JJ, on Wacky Wednesday before class started. We hope to see her over the summer break sometime. Ian's evaluation for this school year was that he was a sweet, thoughtful boy who made friends easily, was well liked and "mature". The teachers commented that they enjoyed talking with him because his vocabulary is wonderful for his age. And he and his teachers loved to share riddles and jokes with each other.



Anna enjoyed her last day of school and we enjoyed her final "report" (the teachers give the parents a slip each day that gives details about the child's day) that stated the teachers loved having Anna in their class because she has such a fun personality and they loved her dancing. That's Anna! She loves to dance and sing! She's going to be our performer and I wouldn't doubt she'll have a talent for song or dance or both as she grows up.

I can't believe Anna enters preschool curriculum next year and Ian starts pre-K this coming fall (his last year at his current school - then on to the public school for kindergarten). Ian actually asked me the other day if I would teach him how to drive when he gets older! I know we're going to blink and he is going to be asking for the car keys for real. Wow, how time flies but we're doing our best to enjoy each day along the way.
