We can not believe our baby finished her first year of preschool, including a special summer program. And what a year it has been. To say we are proud is putting it mildly. That Gwendolyn had this opportunity fills us with such enormous gratitude and that it was so enriching for her is beyond wondrous. This has been a year of so many new things for her, so many good things for her, and so many chances to just be one of the kids.
She got to meet new friends…
be part of the group…
Halloween parade
Snack and story time
Thanksgiving dinner at school
play dress up…
make things…
learn things…
go on a field trip…
climb a tree…
receive a flower from a boy…
play in a playhouse…
swing on the swings…
and take her first school picture…
Gwendolyn has thrived this year. She has become even more confident in her spirited personality and even more determined to direct her life the way she wants it — and, as her parents, we are so proud to step back and let her guide us. Thank you so much St. Andrews Preschool for welcoming our family with open arms and lots of hugs. Thank you Bear Club for doing the same this summer. Thank you to the teachers and especially Amy for being so creative in how Gwendolyn can always be included — there is nothing that makes her happier than getting to do what the other children are doing. We are so looking forward to the many adventures the next year will bring for little Miss Gwendolyn. Our little butterfly is growing up.
