Preschool Graduate(s?)


I'm sorry to be posting old news, but I have been a bit under the weather the past few weeks with a minor infection that has made feeding Zeke pretty uncomfortable.


Anyway, just over a week ago, Sammy graduated from Buzi Bee Preschool in a gala event that spanned two days. (You're right, evidently the teacher can't spell and we're glad he just learned shapes and letters there, but she's great with the four-year-olds.)


Friday morning they had a parents-only program at school where the kids sang and talked and showed off all they had learned during the year. Ms. Debee was quizzing the kids before the program really got underway, and came to the question "What is the solar system?" Silence. Evidently, one day on the subject isn't enough. Then Riley came to the rescue by calling out "The sun and all the planets." We're now wondering whether he should go to Ms. Debee's preschool next year as planned, or start teaching his own preschool. He can spell pretty well, too.


Saturday evening we had a mass picnic at the park for all the kids, family, friends, and anyone who has even heard of Buzi Bee Preschool. The kids had another cute program. Then we crowded into the lobby of Surf & Swim for the countdown to 7:00--that's the time when the pool reservation began, and we all rushed into the locker rooms and under the giant bubble dome that is Surf & Swim. Sammy and Riley had a great time, but were sad that we didn't let them stay until 10 when the party ended. (Sorry, but who throws a preschool party that goes until 10 at night?!?)


Congratulations, Sammy! We're so proud of you for all you've learned and we're excited for you to move on to Kindergarten. Keep up the good work!
