~Elyssa's Last Day of Preschool~

Her first exciting year of preschool came to a startling close.  Going out of town for two weeks at the beginning of May threw us off and it seemed like all of the sudden the school year was over!  Where did all the time go?  And when did she get so big? 

Elyssa's teachers this year were Mrs. O'Toole and Mrs. Voung.  They were great teachers and Elyssa loved them both.  

One of Elyssa's good friends from church, Hailey, was also in her preschool class.  Hailey was moving away literally minutes after school got out.  They gave each other big goodbye hugs and I must admit it was hard not to shed a tear or two.

Elyssa's very best school friend this year had to be Reese.  I heard about Reese ALL THE TIME!  I sometimes felt like Elyssa practically worshipped the ground Reese walked on.  It was fun to see her make her very own friend for the first time without any input or help from me.  Sadly for Elyssa, Reese has moved across town and is not likely to be in the same class next year, but these two little ladies were practically inseparable at preschool this last year.  

It's kind of amazing to see how much she has changed over just the school year.  She is such a little model, posing for the camera any time she gets.  She has grown in so many ways.  It's so exciting for me to see how much she loves to learn and thrive in social experiences.  

I love you to the moon and beyond, Little Miss Lyssa Lou!
