Last Day of Pre-School

Island Cinderella

Happy Girl

I love this look of hers

Sassy Girl

Rubbing the peanut butter on her knees...

Today my youngest daughter finished her last day of preschool. It is hard to believe. It has all happened so fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing her big sister there for the first time and Cinderella had just been home from China for a month. I'm not ready for my baby to grow up. I miss her being that little baby girl, oh so much.

This preschool has been a great place for both of my girls and me. They are very loving and kind.

Cinderella's class did a song fest for the parents this morning. It was just precious. My girl sang and danced and felt so wonderful about herself. I just love that! It was also their Hawaiian luau, thus Cinderella's attire.

Pepe' le pew?

See, it really is a skunk.

(wouldn't you just die for her hair?)

Petting Flower

Ahhhh, sweet little skunk

Cinderella and I went to the Salon yesterday and guess what the owner has. Yep, a baby skunk. Cinderella and I got to see one up close and personal. The little one is named Flower after the skunk in Bambi. It doesn't even have its eyes open yet. Supposedly, skunks don't spray at this age. I'm glad she didn't have her "first time" with us!

Visiting Sue

Pink Dog deep in conversation


The girls and I visited the new home of one of my friends last Saturday. Sue and I worked together until she retired. She is a lovely lady and her home is picture perfect.

The Jumpy Thing

Pink Dog and Cinderella LOVE the Jumpy Thing at the mall. They ask to do it every time we go. Here they are soooo excited about it.

Sorry for the poor quality of this photo, but it is the best shot I had of either of them. You can see the sheer joy in her face.

Here is Pink Dog coming down. Look at that hair. They both jump so high and quickly that it amazes me that they aren't afraid.

Pink Dog leaving the Jumpy Thing

Cinderella is always so happy when her sister gives her nice attention. She really idolizes her. It has been an incredible ride watching them become sisters and dare I say friends.

Another Milestone

Pink Dog ties her shoe

We were at Stride Rite the other day and Pink Dog was practicing with the Tie Your Shoe book that they have. She is impatient and usually gets mad before getting her shoe tied, but not this time. She carefully worked to tie her shoe and she finally did it.

It is a process

Careful

Almost there

She did it! Yeah Pink Dog!

Western Day at Cinderella's Pre-School

Cinderella's pre-school has lots of fun days. Today was western day and she was a cowgirl. The pink boots belonged to her big sister when she was little. I'm so glad I saved those. Cinderella did bring her stick horse to school as well and galloped into school in true cowgirl form.

Obviously Cinderella has watched her sister posing a time or two. I just love how she poses her legs. She is a sassy girl!

Here is the classic, "Oh Mom, do I really have to take another picture" look. I think that she is just dreamy.
Gosh, I love my kids!

The Princess and the Pea

The Prince

Ah Theatre, what a lovely way to spend an evening. Sunday was again our chance to engulf ourselves in a little culture. It was the last show and a terrific one to end the season. We look forward to the next time we will again loose ourselves in the performances.

Uncle Cha and his girls

The Stinky Princess

The Troll
We loved this guy. He made the show.

Cinderella practices patience as she waits for her turn.

The Snow Princess

THE Princess

The Far Eastern Princess

Cinderella gets the Trolls autograph too.

They have learned how to take the "stance."

The King and Queen, how royal.
As Cinderella would say, Good Times, Good Times!
