My little girl is almost a kindergartener. Amelia graduated from preschool last week, in what was a very cute ceremony complete with caps, tassels and diplomas. She had a great school year and seems absolutely ready to enter elementary school. She's reading, loves doing arts and crafts and is very fun-loving.
After a pretty good first year of preschool in 2010-11 -- she had a good time but went through an extended period where she didn't say a word to anybody in her class -- Amelia was really in her element this year. She totally loved doing projects just about every day, enjoyed playing with her friends on the playground, really bonded with one of her teachers, and came out of her shell in many ways.
School ended June 1st, but she's in camp at the school for a few weeks. Yesterday we got her kindergarten assignment -- she's in the "B," or "Banana" group, which means Monday through Wednesday she gets out at 12:30, and Thursday and Friday at 3:00. She knows a lot of kids from the 'hood who are going into kindergarten, so she's very excited.
She turns 5 later this month, and after a week on the Cape in early July she'll join Owen at his camp for four weeks. I think the summer's going to go by very quickly, and before we know it, we'll have two kids in elementary school. Big stuff.
