Two weeks ago, Madeleine finished up her last week of school. She has learned so much and is so sad that she wont see her friends for several months. It is hard at her age to understand the concept of summer break - especially since her brother still had two weeks of school left. She loved going to see her teachers and friends and couldn't wait to tell me what she learned. She has just amazed me this year with most random facts ("Mama, ladybugs eat aphids!"). This was the most perfect first year of "school" for our little girl. The picture on the left is her first day of preschool and the one on the right is her last.
Today James graduated from kindergarten. Everyone told me it would go by so fast, and of course they were right. He is so excited to go to first grade but it is taking everything in me not to yell at him to slow down. He bloomed into this amazing confident smart little man. When I was in kindergarten we colored and played with toy farm animals. We did not have homework, touch on foreign language, learn some of the nuances of math or get assigned a level based on reading ability. And somehow even with all that, he still loved going every day and was just so happy. All I want for James is to be happy, and he is. He is the sunniest, sweetest, happiest little boy. And he has the proudest mom. The picture on the left is his first day of kindergarten and the one on the right is his last.
