Last Day of Twos

 School has been out for a couple of weeks now, and both Orelia and I miss it terribly.

 It's fun to have freedom on Tuesday and Thursdays, but it is a testament to how much we love Preschool Family that we are already itching to go back.

 I don't think it actually rained on her last day or that she wore her vest for a single second once at school, but she was ever-prepared with her umbrella and "cold" weather gear.

 I didn't manage to get a picture of Orelia standing like she was on her first day of school, but here she is as a "big" girl.

And here she is on her first day of school.

 At the end of this year she became a monkey-bar addict.

Thanks to gymnastics class, she loves to go "upside-downies."

 Because she has a summer birthday, our sweet teacher let her celebrate her un-birthday on the last day of school.

 After watching all the other kids get their turn with the Play-Doh cake, she was thrilled to have her turn.

It goes without saying that she enjoyed wearing the crown.

I was proud that she did well being dropped off one day each week at school, but I also really enjoyed our mornings there together on the other day of school.

Orelia especially misses the amazing Teacher Becca who was always so patient and kind to all the kids.  We actually ran into her on a walk recently and it was the highlight of Orelia's day to see Teacher Becca (especially outside of the classroom).  We had a wonderful year and can't wait to be back!
