Preschool Rocks!

We were very fortunate to get Cori into Mrs. McClure's preschool right after we moved here. It's hard enough to get your child into Mrs. McClure's class so we feel extra special to have been able to hop in in the middle of the year! She is a wonderful teacher. She even gave Cori her very own School T-shirt that Cori loves to talk about! She has enjoyed carpooling with friends and doing her homework. She is even beginning to read! At first she wasn't all that interested in reading but since we've been taking weekly trips to the library, she has shown more interest.

A couple weeks ago, I got the pleasure of accompanying her to her very first field trip to the Zoo. She was SOOOOO excited for it. Of course I forgot my camera but thankfully my sisters husbands sister (did you catch that?) was there and let me snap a few pics of Cori with her camera. (Thanks Christin)

This is Cori and my big forehead, I mean my big glasses, I mean my big teeth, oh wait that's me!

She got to sit on an Elephants trunk!

and these goats stunk and I was totally allergic to 'em!

And played with her friends.

Before we left, all the kids went on the carousel. Cori had a total melt down when a kid ran right up in front of her and hopped on the sparkly rainbow seahorse. It was so sad! I wanted to cry with her, but instead I tried to calm her down and convince her that the yellow seahorse was pretty cool too.

Today, was a very special day. Jared and I were able to go and see Cori perform in the cutest, funnest, most bestest, Mother's Day Program ever! She sang and danced and grinned the entire time! It was awesome! Mrs. McClure went all out! It was a very special treat that ended with a very special gift and a luncheon.  I am totally convinced now that I need to put her in dance this fall. She enjoys entertaining just like her mama! I remembered my camera this time but didn't think to video anything. In a couple weeks is the Graduation Spectacular so I'll have to remember both cameras for that.

This is when they first came out. She was so excited to spot me in the audience.

This is the whole bunch.

Taking a bow

Here she is giving me my pot of flowers. She said, "they are pens and there is two. one for me and one for you"

This is the gift she made for me.

She made me this little booklet and inside was the following "fill in the blanks". I thought it was funny. Her answers are in the pink.
