Sniff, Sniff. . . That is pretty much how I sum it up. These past five months have been developmentally priceless for the girls. Preschool has opened up their world to the power of peers. Peer pressure is an excellent thing at this age. I know, when they get older I will want them to revert back to not caring what everyone else does.
Lila Grace and Adeline were allowed to start their "schooling" with two of the best teachers I know. It was a risk for these teachers to welcome my girls into their small and quiet class. My girls were too young and much more delayed which, in a teacher's mind, means more work. Mrs. Stueve and Mrs. Feinstein graciously accepted that challenge and I can't thank them enough. They worked tirelessly with Adeline and her sensory issues and, as previously posted, she now allows her people to paint her feet. Since the girls started half way through the year, they were very behind on the year long ABC book the class was making. Not a problem. The girls were given the time to do each letter and its corresponding activity. I couldn't be happier because this ABC book is fantastic. I can't believe I was presented a binder with photographs and 26 hands on projects.
It is hard to say goodbye to something this wonderful. The teachers and classmates were perfect for my girls. In Adeline's ABC book there was a picture of one of the boys using a toy curling iron in Adeline's hair (double click the picture below). This tells me how much she likes being at school and how much she adores her classmates. Adeline won't let me touch her hair without screaming. The girls run down the hallway when we enter the building and Adeline greets everyone with a huge smile. I will miss the routine and my "break" but most of all I will miss these wonderful experiences my girls have had.
I wanted to include the shirt the girls made for me at preschool - unfortunately I'm wearing it right now so excuse the photo. Who wouldn't want this for a mother's day gift? Another example of how wonderful their teachers are.
