Well, Gwen's first year at school is over! She loved pre-school and really couldn't wait to go every second day. I think the transition to going everyday will be pretty smooth. I took Gwen to get her hair cut in the morning - it was badly needing a trim and what a perfect day to have her hair done up nice! They had a little party for most of the time at pre-school and the last half hour the parents got to come and watch them get their certificates. Very cute. The teachers would shake their hands and say, "Congratulations" but most of the kids didn't really know what this meant!
The teachers had made up a special page for each of them with a photo of each kid at the beginning and end of school and also how they wrote their names on the first day of school as opposed to the last. What a huge difference! Gwen has learned so much this year: printing, counting higher and even some of the words she uses now are very grown up! We were waiting at the end of the day for Gwen to give her teachers one last hug before we left and then she just wanted to leave. As we were walking out, Mrs. Wynne stopped her to give her a hug and Gwen just started crying! She is really sad to leave her class and her school :( I told her we could go visit still and that her new school is really cool too. Not sure if she believes me! I will have to take her there and show her around. We did get the phone numbers of her school friends so that she can see them over the summer.
