Kindergarten here we come

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

K-Girl's last day at preschool was on Wednesday. She's officially going to be in kindergarten come fall. Madness! I'm not sure when that happened. It's going to be a long summer though. She's the kind of kid that on Tuesday and Thursday when there is no school that she is bored to tears by 10 am. The name of the game will be to stay busy for our sanity's sake. She wanted to get her teachers a thank you gift so we decided to do the traditional flowers. I took her to the nursery and she picked out the flowers all herself and then we came home and she made them cards as well. She wrote "Thank you!" on the front, on the inside wrote their names and signed them herself, and then she decorated them as well. She was quite proud of them. She told me the message she wanted me to write, but I took care of that since it was quite a bit of writing. Here she is the morning before school...

She asked me to get a picture with her teachers as well...

She absolutely adores her teachers.  It's funny to think that at the beginning of the year she was all scared to go to school because she was afraid of the "gray curly-haired lady".  I told her she had nothing to worry about.  ;) 

I got a little choked up when it was time for pickup and all the kiddos were coming out of the room giving the teachers hugs.  It's hard to believe that another year has passed.  Wasn't she just hugging her 3 yr teacher good bye?! 

I feel bad that it was so rainy and chilly for the last day as well.  There is a big field right by the church and the parking lot that K-Girl calls the play yard.  The kids all play there for a little after school lets out when it is nice out.  It helps burn off some of the energy from sitting still.  It didn't seem right that we had to just walk out to the car and leave on the last day because no one was staying to play.  She's made a lot of good friends that it will be sad to see go.  Hopefully we'll be able to stay in contact with some of them and of course there will be many many new friends made this fall.  Much like all of these milestones, it's bittersweet.

And a quick E-Man update so not to leave you all hanging...

We went to the pediatrician on Tuesday for a follow up.  The doctor looked at him and says he looks perfect.  He seems to think that the hospital may have jumped the gun on calling it pneumonia.  He said because he never really was coughing and because his lungs sound absolutely clear that he just doesn't see it.  And then to add insult to injury the stupid hospital didn't bother sending over the copies of everything like they said they were going to.  So therefore my doctor had to speculate rather than see for himself.  The doctor thinks that the passing out was caused by just the rate at which the fever came on and that it was just a virus that caused it.  The Husband called the hospital though and hopefully got everything squared away.  E-Man has his 2 year well check on Monday so hopefully they will have the info and I can ask the doctor to look at it and see what she thinks.  But as for now, E-Man is fine.  His temp broke after 2 days and you wouldn't have a clue he was ever sick at all.
