Well, I'm stealing the blog posting idea from my sister and showing off first and last days of school for Grace (Alex is still too young to participate in this one - he gets too cranky at times for pictures on demand).
Here is sweet little Gracie with Miss Andrea and Miss Bettina on her first day of school.
And with apologies to her teachers for taking the picture after the class swim party, here she is showing off her forced "trying-too-hard" smile on the last day. I couldn't have asked for a better class for her to finish preschool with. The most kids they ever had in this class was 10, so they were able to do some really wonderful things with very individualized attention. And Bettina and Andrea were just amazing teachers; very creative and always thinking up great things for the class to do.
Now for some graduation pictures. Here's a great one of Grace with Andy.
Grace with Aidan and Andy - two of her favorite boys. Of course, by the end of the year - especially once the only other girl had moved up north and was attending maybe once a week - ALL the boys had become her favorites.
Grace and Brayden were very insistent I take their picture while they were making these faces. I'm not sure what they were aiming for. They looked a little like chipmunks.
Some very excited soon-to-be graduates.
The entire graduating class. All eight of them.
Me and Grace watching the after-ceremony slide show.
To try to give a little space to Alex, here are two of his favorite classmates this year: twins Kate and Mike. I actually came upon him a few times lying on the floor with Kate reading books looking so sweet.
Alex VERY excited to be standing next to his best friend Donovan. Every day was gauged as being "good" if it was a day he saw Donovan, or "not good" if he didn't. And I couldn't get Alex to take a picture this final day of school until I said "let's take one with Donovan", and as you can see he was all smiles after that.
Giving Donovan a big hug goodbye.

Cute photos all the way around.
Alex was very happy because I wore my Mr. Citrus Head shirt that day too.
