Last day of pre-school (plus update)

Best Friends!

Caelan has really enjoyed pre-school this year, which is a big deal because last year he always told me that he didn't like school. He has learned how to write his name and do some simple math, grown some plants from seed and perfected his painting skills. Caelan mostly just plays with his sister and her friends, but I am glad that he loves her so much. He is shy and has a hard time separating from his family in group situations, but he is becoming more confident and is really the one that is the most out-going within the house. He loves to laugh and make jokes, loves to gives hugs and loves to be tickled. His teachers describe him as very caring to the other children, often giving compliments to others and comforting them when they are sad. Caelan's favorite word is "super", but he also loves to yell "boring" when he doesn't want to do something. Caelan is currently 40 pounds and wears size 5 clothing. He loves the color blue, hates riding his bike, loves swimming and goes to bed easily at the end of the day. Caelan has said that all he wants to be when he grows up is a Dad. We are so proud of you Dudey!

Ashlyn has always loved school, but she has developed such a confidence this year that is amazing. She has a best friend at school(that is not her brother), knows how to write her name and has really progressed in her drawing skills. Her favorite things to draw are people, butterflies and flowers. She loves to dance and wants to be a ballerina when she grows up. She still loves pink, loves to ride her bike, loves to eat fruit and vegetables and has finally grown out of her Dora obsession. Ashlyn currently weighs 34 pounds and wears size 5. She is the same height as her brother, but is very thin. She is devastated that she still has to ride in a full car seat, while her brother and sister are big enough to ride in booster seats. We have loved watching her grow and develop into such a confident girl. We love you Ashlyn!
