Preschool Graduation

Jacob had his preschool graduation ceremony last night and even though we are waiting to send him to Kindergarten, it was still a little emotional!!! His class marched in and took their place on the stage and it didn't take him very long to find us in the audience! Jacob pretty much waved the entire time and took a few breaks to sing or check out the motions of the classmate next to him :) Poor kid kept zoning out and yawning - it was 7:30 on a school night!

Jacob waving to us

Yawning

His sweet teachers came up and stood with the class for the last song (pretty sure i got teary-eyed...)

After the performance, we all went back to his classroom for diplomas and snacks. They all looked so cute in their graduation caps!! Jacob acted so silly when it was his turn to go up and stand with his teachers. They said that he was the class clown and always had all of the kids laughing at something he said or did. Sheesh. (rolling eyes) Good thing God gave him a set of dimples with that sense of humor - it's probably kept him out of more trouble than I care to know about :)

Our little cupcake turns 2!

Sweet Julianne turned two on the 26th of April. Every year seems to go by faster and faster!!! She is getting so big and learning so much! She loves to sing/be sung to, play with her baby dolls, cook in her kitchen, ride her tricycle, read books, watch movies with Jacob and play with bubbles.

Some of the things that she is learning:

• she can count to 10 (but always skips #7)
• she can jump with both feet off of the floor
• she knows pink and purple VERY well, but is hit-or-miss on the other colors :)
• she says please and "thanks" 99% of the time
• she knows "Jesus Loves Me, Rock-a-bye baby, the B-I-B-L-E (her favorite), the Wheels on the Bus, Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes and loves to dance to the radio in the car

She has such a little personality these days!!! We laugh at the way she cuts her eyes at you if she's mad. I went to get her at Aunt Jaime's house the other day and I guess she was mad that I showed up. She wouldn't look me in the eye for a long time! She just put her head down and cut her eyes over at me as if to say "how dare you come and interrupt my play time!" We laugh now, but I'm sure I won't think it's funny for too long! She loves to play with Jacob (or loves to play in his room - I'm not sure which sometimes!). When Jacob is at school, she takes toys out of her room into his room and plays on his bed for hours!
We haven't hit the "terrible" part of being 2...yet! We are enjoying her giggles, snuggles and kisses right now!!

We love you, sweet girl!
