Liesel's Last Day of School

Liesel's preschool class had a little program for their last day of school. They sang songs, parents took pictures, everyone gave presents to the teachers, and then we all enjoyed cookies and punch. Seeing all those kids neatly lined up in their seats I have to say I was impressed with how much they've matured in one short school year. I'm really grateful to both of Liesel's amazing teachers and her classmates. I'd really hoped for a diverse group and we hit the jackpot. Liesel learned so much from them!

Liesel gets as excited as I do when something has her name on it.

Liesel with Mrs. Miller. Clearly she was an
amazing teacher and Liesel loved her!

Liesel and Mrs. Mohsin (who told me she'll
miss seeing Liesel's many hairdos).

They gave each child the option of a hug or a high five.
Liesel went for a high five.

Ireland kept trying to sneak up to the front to join the kids. Whenever I tried to pull her back, all the parents around me said to leave her alone. They didn't mind and they actually thought it was cute. Although Ireland undoubtedly feels left out when it comes to preschool, she perked up when she saw Oreos were being served.

Now who taught her to twist off the top and only eat the creamy
filling in the middle? Hmmm...

I think we're ready to boldly charge into summer. We have swimming lessons and a math readiness class planned for Liesel while Ireland will continue gymnastics. I found a great summer reading list for preschoolers so we'll be doing a library day once a week. Hopefully we'll get lots of phone calls from the University of Chicago for the girls to participate in studies so we can pad their college savings accounts. I'm sure we'll go to the Museum of Science and Industry as well as Lake Michigan as much as we can. Whenever the weather's accommodating, the girls will be getting a good dose of vitamin d and Brent has big plans to take them to the pool at the clubhouse as much as possible. I can already tell it's going to be a great summer!
