My first born babies graduated from pre-school today! It’s hard to believe….the past two years at VPC Pre-school have just flown bye. The girls were in separate classes this year allowing them to develop and grow as individuals. Both girls had a really successful year. Emerson has really come out of her shell. She enjoys playing with other children and having her own friends. She knows most the letters in the alphabet and can write her own first name and last name. She likes to do artwork and puzzles and enjoys doing beginner math! Avery loves doing art work and her drawings and paintings are already surpassing my level of skill. She knows all her letters and can write her first and last name (although sometimes still backwards). She likes to do puzzles and loves imaginative play.
The last day of the school the girls had their end of the year concert. They had been rehearsing their songs at home some and while they knew all the songs, I was a little nervous that they would have some stage fright. The girls stood next to each other center stage and they were awesome…they were loud, knew their words, and had good accompanying hand and body movements. Seriously, I was so proud of them….they did awesome. And we have it documented forever! (Last week Justin and I bought a video camera….as much as we love photographs, I wanted to have their little voices and funny sayings and special moments on video. My long term goal is to put together a video highlight each year so that the videos are actually watched in years to come).
Justin took video of “concert” and I was supposed to take a few pictures, but where I was sitting, I could barely see Avery and Emerson so taking pictures were out of the question for me, but Justin managed to get one while he was also taking video. 
I also had them pose for theit obligatory last day of school picture in the same spot as their first day of school at VPC two years ago. Avery was ever so slightly more into it than Emerson…this was the best we could get.
While VPC has been great and we are sad that Avery and Emerson’s time there is up, we are excited about them starting kindergarten and excited that Harper will be at VPC for the next two years!
Happy Pre-school graduation day Avery and Emerson! “Oh the places you will go!”
