Earlier this winter Anna began attending the preschool at the high school my mom teaches at in order to give her something fun to do on the cold days and to give me a short break when I was so very pregnant. Anna enjoyed this so much that she continued to attend through the remainder of the school year. As a Family and Consumer Science teacher, my mom began a program for students interested in Early Childhood Education that allowed high school students to "run a preschool". They assisted in the curriculum planning and 2 high school students were paired with each child, each term. Anna soaked up the individual attention and loved her buddies. She looked forward to going to preschool every Tues and Thurs morning and even though her grandma was there - she spent most of her time interacting with her high school "buddies" and the other children. This was a great experience!
This past week was her last week, and to celebrate I was invited in (along with the other parents) to watch Anna receive a certificate and to share in some cake and goodies. We will miss this over the summer!
Fortunately Anna will have a chance to see her buddies from this last term every now and again as they have turned out to be great babysitters! :)

Leave it to a 2.5yr old that acts like she's 6yrs old...pre-school already and handling it so well - that's awesome!!! You can really tell she has so much fun with this, and loves being around others. So great - such a little smartie!
Can't wait to see what 3 will bring - only a few months away until party time again! :)
