School's Out!

I can't believe that my baby is already done with preschool and headed to kindergarten.   It seems like just yesterday that I wrote a blog post questioning if I should send her at age 2 or not.  The last three years have flown by, but they have been so good to Lily (and me).  We both have met amazing friends at preschool that will most likely be in our lives forever.  Lily has grown so much, both physically and mentally in the last three years.  The program at her school was exceptional and she is more than prepared for Kindergarten.  It was all such a good experience and started a love for school that hopefully Lily will always have.  It is so bittersweet to move on to the next phase and all the Moms were outside of the class crying on Friday, their last day.  I was crying both because I was sad about her growing up so quickly and because I was overwhelmed with how proud I am of the young lady she has become.

It is amazing to see how she has grown!

She looks so grown up.

We tried to get a picture with Danielle, but she just wanted to crawl away.

Outside her school!

I took these pictures of her at the table doing her morning activity just like I did on the first day.  To see the post and pictures from her first day click here.

Danielle and Abigail at school -- the next generation of preschoolers!

After school we met up with nearly her whole class for lunch and play in the fountains.  We did this last year and it is the perfect way to celebrate the end of school and kick off summer.  The kids had  the best time.

It was pretty warm out, but I had planned on just staying in the shade to keep Dani out of the sun.  But Hailey's Mom, Elaine, who has a baby one week younger than Danielle had been taking Macy to play on the water and offered to take Danielle too.  I figured she needed to cool off some, so she went ghetto style in just a diaper.  Next time, I'll bring her suit!

Danielle was having fun!

It was such a super fun and exhausting day that even Lily fell asleep on the way home and that hardly ever happens anymore!!
