Friday was Anna's last day of her first year of preschool. Before Wallace was born we got a little concerned that she wasn't socializing enough. She'd run up to random kids wherever we went, and rather than try to talk, which she really wasn't doing much of before starting school, she'd kind of look at them excitedly and then bust into some dance moves. "/ It was cute, but nearly all of those kids would look at me like...is she okay? So we decided to enroll her up at the church for what's basically a Mother's Day Out preschool 3 days a week. She has absolutely loved it! In fact, Granny would get upset because she'd be so eager to leave in the morning, and then all bummed out to get back in the truck when she picked her up. Needless to say, Ms Kara and Ms. Cynthia and all the kids will be sorely missed this summer. :(

On Friday they had a short little end of the year party for all of the kids, and we got to watch them goof off and get a small glimpse of what they normally do during the day. When I got there they were still playing in the gym.

Anna turns lobster red when she plays hard.  I've had concerned parents come up to me and ask if she's okay before.  "/  Yep...she's fine...she's just got my genetics.  We're not pretty sweaters or criers.... — Anna turns lobster red when she plays hard.

When they were all ready to head back to the classroom Ms. Cynthia lined them up with this handy looped rope.  Maybe I should get one of these for Anna for when we're out and about! — When they were all ready to head back to the classroom Ms. Cynthia lined them up with this handy looped rope.

And now I know the last 2 verses. :)

I think Anna's favorite thing about the party was the food!  The donuts in particular.  She's never been super fond of the ones I've gotten her before.  Apparently I just wasn't getting the right kind.... — I think Anna's favorite thing about the party was the food!

Krispy Kreme with white frosting and sprinkles!

I wish I had a short little sink like this at home.  Anna tends to just forego the step stool and scale up the vanity to sit on the counter to wash her hands at home. — I wish I had a short little sink like this at home.
