On Wednesday night, I graduated my third graduating class from Smart Start Preschool. This year meant a lot to me because I was able to teach two of my own little preschoolers. Landon and Presley both attended my school this year and it was so fun to have them be a part of my class.
(Here is a slight disclaimer: I will be bragging about my kids for a moment. Feel free to skip over it if you don't want to hear proud mama gushing....)
1. Landon is brilliant. I am not just saying that. He is reading on a third grade level and does basic math facts with the girls. He totally taught himself how to read. I did the ground work-he did the rest.
2. He has an AMAZING singing voice. I know I've said it before-but he sang before he could talk. Not only did he sing-but he sang totally in tune and has perfect pitch. He loves music.
3. Presley came to preschool this year by default. My babysitter had to stop-so in November, she started coming. I thought she would be too young-but it worked out great and I am really thankful she was able to come with me. I still get her all next year too! Yes-we had our moments. Our power struggles-but she matured a lot and had lots of fun and did well. She also made many new friends which I am thankful for.
4. Presley is the best "memory" player I know. She honestly can beat anyone in this house-including Scott and I. She is crazy good at that game. If she could only remember where she hid things after stealing them. Like my make-up brushes (found about a week after they went missing). She really is a handful at times-but is a really sweet girl.
5. I am not ready to let Landon fly the next to Kindergarten. Yes, I know he's ready and I know he will do really well. (I hope he will anyway!!) But I have loved having him at home with me as my little buddy. He was always such a great helper. It will be really difficult for me to send him off on the bus in the fall.
I look completely FRAZZLED in these pics. I guess I was. I love being with the kids-but putting on a show in front of the parents is a totally different story!! :) Oh well. It's over and done and we are going to enjoy summer to its fullest!!

Oh so sweet. I would love for you to be my kids teacher. It is neat that your kids will have that memory. I want to play memory with Presley. I am not saying that because I think I am good, I am saying it because I want to see her mad skillz. Glad you are done and glad it was another good year, even if you had to waste time taking pictures of one boy just so he would keep his eyes open! Love ya
That was a super fun graduation you did a great job!!
