Last Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Russell’s last day of preschool for the school year.  He will be attending their summer class 1 day/week as well, but yesterday was their big end-of-year program. 

Class picture of the “Hootin’ Tootin’ Twos” (Russell looks mad but he just gets that look sometimes – I doubt he was really upset.  He is on the front row, 2nd from left.)


At the program yesterday, they sang “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” “This is the Day that the Lord Has Made,” and some other song I’d never heard of.  I don’t think Russell had heard it much either – he just stood there for that one.  But he really sang and did the motions for the others.

Updated: I got some great pictures from a friend who sat in the front row!  Russell is in the blue and white striped polo.

Itsy Bitsy Spider :)

They also sent this home with him.  I can’t believe how much bigger he is than he was in September!  And he looked like a baby in the first picture!  He is growing up so fast!


He never tells me that he wants to go to preschool – in fact, usually he tells me “no preschool or church today.  Just play at home” – but he always has fun when he’s there, and comes back telling me about all the fun he had.  He never cries when I drop him off but always runs to the door excitedly when Meredith and I pick him up.

I have signed him up again for 1 day/week in the fall, and next year, his friend Eliza will be joining his class!  I know he’ll like that.  We still haven’t decided if we will homeschool or send him to school, which is why I’m sending him 1 day/week (instead of none or two, which I would do if we had fully decided!)  We still have some time!
