Preschool Happenings

This is Elise's last week of preschool. She is very excited for Kindergarten, but sad to be leaving her preschool, her friends, and her teachers.

Yesterday was the last official day of school. She helped me decoupage some paint buckets with Dick and Jane fabric for her teachers, and we filled them with cookies and various goodies. It was cute, she was so proud that she helped to make the buckets and was really excited to give them to her teachers.

Today was her preschool graduation. Her graduation was nice, but simple. She got to walk across the stage and get a "diploma," and sing a song with her class. Most importantly it was short, which is important when you are trying to keep a newborn and a two year old happy. Good thing Grandma and Grandpa came along and helped entertain Steven. After graduation I told her she could pick a treat to celebrate with, and she was quick to decide that she wanted a chocolate donut with sprinkles and chocolate milk. Yes, I have a little chocoholic on my hands here. We stopped at the donut store on the way home and got the very last chocolate donut with sprinkles in stock. It was definitely her lucky day!

This afternoon we are going to walk over to her elementary school and finish registering her for school next year. Can you say "last minute?" School is out Friday, and I'm not sure when the office closes, but we sure are cutting it close. I can't believe I will have a kid in elementary school next year!
