Molly's last day with Miss Kristina...

Well, today was Molly's last day at preschool with Miss Kristina. Her teacher is having a baby and is taking a break from the preschool gig for a while. Kristina's home-based school has been perfect for Molly over the last year and a half. She started at one morning a week so I could do some consulting work, and has graduated to two mornings a week. She benefited SO much from going there and being with the older kids, all of which have been there together as a group from the beginning. Here's her class picture and individual photo from this year:

And here's their class picture from last year. Notice that they've calmed down quite a bit in a year!

And here she is with Miss Kristina on her first day of school!

And here they are together today on her last day of school.

In the last 18 months Molly has learned so much - from her colors and shapes to her letters and numbers. She's started cutting with scissors, which I would have NEVER let her use before I saw her doing it at school. Together we've taught her to be "binky free", how to use the potty, and even how to speak in sentences! Even more importantly she's developed great social skills and she no longer fears being away from me. What a change in 18 months! Thank you so much Kristina for the impact you've made on my little girl's life. You've been invaluable to our family!
