Last Day of School

 Today is the last day of school for the kids. Olathe schools go a little bit longer, but preschool always starts later and ends earlier.

This year was really good for them both. Joshua has grown leaps and bounds in terms of being able to sit and also on his fine-motor skills like writing. Clara has really thrived in school in every way and has learned to write her name and made a lot of friends.

The end of school always seems sad (to me. Not to the kids). Time goes by so fast. Next year will be Joshua's last year of preschool and I don't want to think about him in elementary school. Next year will also be Hannah's first year of school.

After school, we got some ice cream to celebrate the last day of school. Well, I wanted everyone to have ice cream, but Clara was extremely insistent that she didn't want anything except a piece of gum. I kept asking her if she was sure because obviously gum is way less good. She was super firm on it. Until we got home. Then she was really upset she didn't have ice cream. Which, if she had to depend on Hannah's generosity, she would be pretty disappointed. Hannah really likes chocolate and really isn't big on sharing and there was no way she was going to share. Luckily Joshua is an excellent sharer and was willing to give Clara a fair amount of his ice cream cone, so all the kids were happy.
