It is almost midnight and I know that I should be off to bed to catch some precious sleep before another full day tomorrow but I can't help but stop and take a few moments to reflect on where we are at in Sydney's life. In nine more school days she will be finished Kindergarten. It seems hard to believe that an entire year has gone by. She has had so many wonderful memories and learned so much during this first year of school. It has been life changing for us all!
Sydney's class has been doing a 'neighborhood' project for the past several days whereby the girls set up different businesses and run the classroom like a neighborhood. They have a bank, food market, art gallery, airport, travel gift shop and restaurant. Each girl takes a turn working in every business or being part of the family that frequents the businesses on any given day.
I have had the fortune of being able to volunteer in Sydney's class several times for their neighborhood project and have so loved watching Sydney interact with her classmates and have fun role playing!
This morning she was the pilot of the 'Super Fly Apple Fly' airplane. She flew her classmates around the playground to India, Hawaii and Australia. It was adorable!
We've also had a special event at Sydney's school where we said goodbye to Ms. England, a Kindergarten teacher who has been with the school for forty years. We had a lovely tea party for her and Sydney even had the chance to make her own bonnet for the occasion!
We've been trying to squeeze in as many playdates as possible before the end of the school year! Sydney had her friend Julia over today to play, the girls had a great time bouncing in the bouncy castle, having a picnic outside and playing hospital. I love that Syd and Julia have known each other since they were two years old and that their friendship keeps growing and blossoming!
It has been record breaking warm temperatures in Vancouver the past several days. I took Sydney to Emma Lea Farms on the weekend to pick strawberries which are several weeks ahead of schedule this year with all the good weather we're having!
I just love watching my very own Strawberry Shortcake in the strawberry patch, it's adorable!
What a precious time it is as we wrap up Sydney's first year of school.
