My little girl is growing up...

"Skinamarinkydinkydink...Skinamarinkydo..."
"...I love you!"

The 2008-2009 Pre-K Class

Grace is officially finished with Pre-K! I can hardly believe that she will be in Kindergarten next year! Wow, time has flown by!! She enjoyed the school year, but is even more excited that school is out for the summer. She told me just today that she likes summer because you can "lounge around & go to the pool"!! Ah, the life of a 4 year old!!

They had their annual end of year program at St. James. As usual, I cried! They sang several songs & it was precious as usual...especially when you've got a little one performing! I was doing fine until they started singing, "Skinamarinkydinkydink, skinamarinkydo...I love you." I remember singing that to Grace when she was a baby & doing the hand motions with her as she got a little older. So, naturally, I teared up. Then, she did the hand motions to the "I love you" part & she turned & pointed directly at us & had this huge grin on her face! I had to pull out the ol' pocket kleenex for that! What special memories!!

The next day they had their end of year party at the home of one of her classmates. They played hard & enjoyed their friends! It was definitely a fun way to end the year!
