Penny and Max Update

The end of the school year is approaching fast!  June 11th is Penny's last day of kindergarten.  She will no longer be part of the class of littlest ones at school.  It is bittersweet.  She has learned a lot of independence this year.  We started off dealing with her crying at Kids Country (the after school care).  Now, she is very social with friends of various ages there and she had a great school year developing her love of reading, math, singing, and art.

Max has also gone through a lot of changes.  He had to switch to a new preschool suddenly in January due to the previous preschool teacher's health (she closed her school).  The new place has about 3 times as many kids, but he adjusted very well.   He is continuing to learn to "use his words" rather than be quiet when he has a problem, and he talks so much now.  He is also exposed to a variety of foods, since they provide lunch, which I appreciate. 

Random fun things that happened recently:

Max is in a soccer class

Max is off of diapers (at night too)

Penny performed in a talent show

Penny ran a 5k race with me (mom)

For summer, Penny has a combination of academic summer school and after care for the first half and then full-day camps for the second half.  Max will continue at his year-round pre-school.
