June Catch-Up: Sean and Preschool

Time for some major catching up! This summer has been so wild and crazy I've just barely taken a breath from it all. And I am completely overwhelmed at the thought of catching up. I'd much rather just skip to the present - but I know in the future I will wonder why I didn't take the time to do it right. So here goes.

Can't believe these pictures were from just a few months ago. It now seems like a lifetime ago. Sean has already grown so much over the summer and now he will be a big second year preschooler in just a couple more weeks.

Sean's preschool program at Ferris. The theme this year was, "Little Patriots." As you can see he is pretty proud to show off his American flag.

I was so worried about him being a pickle up on stage - but he actually did rather well. He even sang the songs (much better than his previous siblings did). He was happy to walk to center stage and receive his certificate.

So far it has worked out that Chris and been able to leave his classroom and see the program. It is great having them both at Ferris.

My mum makes several visits to Spokane each year, but this was her first time to attend a preschool program. Sean loves his nanny!!!

I always go to the last couple of days of preschool to watch them have their play days. Sean had been waiting all year for me to come to his classroom. He knew that I went to Chad's and Halle's classrooms to help all during the school year and just couldn't wait for his turn.

Playing a game of human tic-tac-toe. Sean is being an "X."

Now he gets to be an, "O."

A serious game of red light/green light. (And don't you just love the cleavage? I'm glad this picture will remind me of what young ladies wore to high school in 2008. Will it get better or worse I wonder.)

Ring jumping.

My absolute favorite picture of Sean.

I tried to get some pictures of some of Sean's friends too.

Bouncing frogs on a parachute.

Taking a breather after all the hard work of being an energetic preschooler.

Kyle takes a run at the long jump.

A great landing for a first timer.

Sean just does a run through.

Trying to sit patiently while waiting for snack time.

My mouth is open. Feed me!!!!!!!

Ah, that hits the spot. Nothing like a refill of sugar to keep a preschooler going.

Last year it was hit and miss with Sean and school. Some days he wanted to go and some days he didn't. It was always a struggle to leave without him attached to my leg in some way. This year he keeps asking when he gets to go back to school and has mentioned several times that he needs to go back to school because Mrs. Crater must be missing him. He can even point out the day on the calendar of when he gets to go back.

I hope he really enjoys this year! And that I can just drop him off and leave.

He also doesn't understand why I don't come help out at preschool everytime. Hmmm, have an hour and a half all alone with no kids, or spend an hour and a half with 25 preschoolers and high school kids? What a decision. Hope he understands how it is when he is older!
