R's Preschool Graduation

Can you believe it is over?  I can't.  It seems like just yesterday I walked both of my kids to their first day of preschool/kindergarten.  Now I feel like I blinked and this school year is complete.  Who allowed my children to continue to grow older?  I surely didn't authorize this. 

Robby and his buddies were so cute at their "show" {I am calling promotion this because technically Robby is not being promoted; he will be attending some form of preschool for one more year}.  They all recited each letter and the sound they make, their blended phonics they have learned and then Miss Rosie talked about what each child wanted to be when they grow up.  Any guesses what Robby told her???

Why a "Monster Truck Driver" of course.  He wants to be able to "smash lots of other cars for fun and do lots of cool tricks".  Imagine that.  Lots of other kids picked Superhero's like Spiderman, Superman, IronMan, even one child wanted to be a missionary.  But of course my child wanted to be a Monster Truck Driver.  I have never been such a proud Mommy!!  {he looked pretty darn pleased when she announced his choice to the group}

Thank you Miss Rosie! You have been so kind and patient with Mr R.  You have fueled his desire to learn without squashing his vibrant, inquisitive, active personality.  You have even allowed him to gradually accomodate to being at preschool on his mad/angry days too with all the patience in the world.  He has loved all the fun ways you allow them to learn: with movement, songs, learning all about different animals, coloring, eating, etc. You lovingly prod each of the children along to become the best they can be; for that I am eternally grateful!

And Eli sure liked the food and fun as well!

{now just FOUR days until Kindergarten promotion as well: YIKES}
