She finished preschool. She only ever wore this cap and gown for pictures (just so you know...that gives me a terrible lice phobia. They put the hat on all the kids heads for pictures!). But it's adorable just the same. Her favorite song of her preschool celebration night was "We're off to Kindergarten, yes we are. We are off to kindergarten yes we are. And we won't be here in preschool anymore..." We all LOVED her preschool. I was amazed by her teacher and the communication we had with her. I loved the organization of her folder and how much was brought home to tell us about her day. Being a peer model was the perfect thing for Addilyn. She is a true nurturer, helper, and just an all around little mommy (with a side of bossy). Her teachers did say she was never bossy at school and was always appropriately helping others know where to go or how to do a certain activity. Addilyn still sees friends from school and runs up to say hi to them. She's gained so much confidence this year-especially with her peers-it's amazing to see!!
Preschool ended on a Thursday.
Monday we were here. At her Elementary school. For 'Kamp Kindergarten' for the month of June.
I can't say I was excited about sending her-I was looking forward to those two whole months at home together. But she desperately wanted to go and was so excited with the idea of "Starting kindergarten early!" we sent her. The first day there was a bit of a bus incident (they put her on the bus while her daddy was sitting in the car rider line to pick her up) and all around disorganization. But, it got better throughout the week as she got more exhausted. All day everyday school is a super hard transition. One that we're all struggling with. Josiah spent the first few days wandering around a little bit like a lost puppy dog just asking when we could go get Addilyn. She does seem to enjoy it while she's there-although she's made sure we know she prefers her small preschool class to her big kindergarten class and that we are welcome to pick her up early any day we want to. Praying the transition eases a bit and we can fit lots of summer fun into July!
