EVB: Official Preschool Graduate

It's official, Ellen has completed preschool and is ready to move on to kindergarten. As a parent, it's a bittersweet milestone. On one had, I am so proud of her and beyond excited for all the fun she'll have next year ... On the other hand, it makes me sad to think how quickly she's grown up and to know that she is know a legit big kid.

Ellen's graduation ceremony was super cute. The countless hours of preparation on the part of the kids and the teachers certainly paid off. Everyone did a great job singing the songs, standing/sitting in their assigned spots and being the center of attention when his/her diploma was handed out.

EVB: 5 Years + 7 Months Old!

June's Last Day of ECFE

Since she's off to preschool in the fall, June's Early Childhood Family Education experience has come to an end. We had a great last day, complete with a little potluck party with all the kids and moms. Fun times!

JEB: 3 years + 2 months Old!

June Bug is continuing to do swell at being 3 ... Here's what our littlest lady has been up to as of late:

• Still rocking it at being potty trained. Woo hoo!
• Keeping up with her big sister. Ellen and June are becoming better playmates every day and can happily entertain themselves and each other for hours on end.
• Gaining more and more independence when it comes to personal care (dressing, undressing, brushing teeth, using the toilet, washing hands, etc.)
• Per usual, doing a wonderful job of taking care of mom. I've said it before and I'll say it again, no one will ever love me the way June loves me. She's the best at reading my emotions and knows precisely when I'm in need of a hug.
