Two more years then she'll be heading off to Kindergarten...the time is going to fly and I am trying to hold on to every second I can!
They had a little party and I wanted to make a "summery" themed cupcake to celebrate the beginning of their summer vacation.
I put them on a tray with "sand" (crushed graham crackers) and although they aren't in the picture I put a couple of little umbrellas around the cupcakes. I was remembering my dad's words..."Presentation is 90% of cooking".

Since the first day of school Lucy has taken "shy" to a whole new extreme! She barely spoke to her teachers or "her kids" as she calls her classmates. She wouldn't even say goodbye to her teachers when I would coome to pick her up. Abby was the same way when she was in 2K but she grew out of it a lot earlier than Lucy. Lucy was also the oldest in the class (she turned 3 about 2 weeks after school started) so I kept trying to tell her that this was her chance to show her stuff and be the oldest. Didn't work.
Everyday I took her to school I would ask her if she was going to talk to her teachers that day. Her response was either "I don't know" or "Probably" ;p Have I mentioned I think she is our most stubborn hard headed kid? :)
The past couple of weeks Lucy FINALLY did it! She started talking to her teachers AND playing with a couple of "her kids". Thanks Ms. Jennifer for all your patience and love for our little Lucy. You helped bring her out of her shell (it probably seemed more like a tooth extraction!)
I will always be grateful for your TLC with her. I wish you could have another month with her now that she's opening up...then again, I don't want to shatter any illusions you have of her...HA! You'll have to check on her next year in her 3K class and see what she's doing with her hair :) She's gone from about 15-20 hairclips to 6 braids...no telling what her sense of style will come up with next (oh yeah...and the boots)!
Lucy and Ms. Jennifer
Aww! She looks so proud. Yay for her opening up.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes are so cute!
