Last Day of School 2013

Today was Truie's last day of school!  Let's see if he has grown...

Here is his First Day of School picture on 23 Aug 12...

...and his Last Day of School picture on 16 May 13.

If he's not bigger, he's at least HAPPIER! :)

After school, we went to Sweet Katie Bee's for a treat. :)  Cu'cakes!

This year, Tru has learned the order of the ABCs, he can sing the ABC song, he understands counting (whereas before he could say the numbers in order but didn't know what counting was), his favorite things to count are school busses (which he calls 'Octygons in da BUS!'), he loves to sing along to songs, he speaks in full sentences, being the center of attention is still his favorite pastime, he is a soccer pro, he loves to paint, stamp, color, and stick stickers, he is much better with accepting instructions and following them, he understands that Jesus loves him, he knows who Moses, Sarah, Abraham, and Isaac are, he can play at the playgrounds without help...and he is just a BIG BOY!  If the last 2 months are any indication, 3 will be be easier than 2. :)

Here are some pics of the teacher gifts:

tote bags

I had some cream card stock that I stamped, embossed, and inked

I made these cute little envelopes

Paper purses to hold their gift cards :)

It was a fantastic year with Ms. Jen and Ms. Donella!  We will miss them!  Though, I'm sure they will still take top billing in Truie's prayers.  Every prayer (except the bedtime ones) start out:  Dear God, thank you for this day...Ms. Jen...Ms. Donella...

Happy summer, everyone!
