Little Miss Cheerful

Last week was an exciting yet slightly sad week marking the end of the school year. Leila is switching schools next year so it was sad to say final good-byes to everyone. She had a great class and a great teacher and learned so much. I am amazed what they can teach 2 year-olds and am taking notes. The last chapel of the year was Character Chapel where they recognize each child for their individual character strengths. Leila was recognized for being "Cheerful and Respectful" and we are so proud!

Some happenings from this past school year:
(1) Her teacher told me my 2 year-old needed to work on her mouse skills... apparently the parents of other 2 year-olds let them play with the computer... we don't but I guess it shows!
(2) Each day she gave me the run down on who got time out (no offense, but always boys;) until one day she told me SHE got time out! WHAT??!! This is not acceptable in our house. I asked her about what her offense was, and had to keep from laughing out loud... Not hitting, kicking, or anything like that... She got on top of the table. Talked to the teacher and it turns out she had asked Leila not to get on the table but she did anyway, so she got time out... the teacher was trying not to laugh too. Leila apologized to her teacher and did not get any more time outs :)
(3) Leila made a good friend! She has a lot of friends, but her teacher reported she and this other girl sit together and laugh all day so loud she has to shush them. I am thrilled she is reaching out on her own. Hopefully we can keep in touch over the summer.

Here are some pics from the last few days at school.

"Fishing" on Field Day--caught one!

Loves the big pink scooter

Enjoyed soaking Mom on Field Day

Leila and her new close friend, yay for girl friends!

Performing in Chapel for the Mother's Tea... beyond cute

Posing with Mom at the Mother's Tea.. Leila wants to wear a skirt or a dress every day and will only wear pants or shorts if she has too

The delicious "ice cream cone" cupcakes I made for Splash Day... they were a hit and the teacher said the kids didn't know whether to lick them or not, lol

Splash Day was a great way to end the year

Leila did not sit on the sidelines for one second!

Last Day of school, in a tutu, of course!!

Bye Mrs. Fuller! We will miss her incredibly patient teacher.
