Moving Up Day

Evan's moving up!  It's transition time at school, and the kids have been spending time with their teachers-to-be over the last couple weeks as they get ready to graduate to the next class.  This is a big one for Evan - he'll be leaving the "baby" wing of school and moving to the "big kid side."  He's incredibly excited, though you can tell he's sad to leave his old teacher.  Ms. Felicia has been fantastic to Evan for 2 years now.  She was in the other baby room when Evan was a tiny infant, and got to spend time with Felicia there, and we were ecstatic when she got her own class of 1-2 year olds this past year.  She's been there to teach Evan counting, his colors, and the alphabet.  She's helped him with making friends, sharing, following rules, having a routine, and potty training.  Together they've sung countless songs, and read hundreds of books, and colored and painted on nearly every surface imaginable.  We were incredibly lucky to have Ms. Felicia as a teacher, and will miss her dearly.  Evan put together a very nice card to help tell Ms. Felicia how much she means and thank her for helping to create the foundation for most everything else he's going to learn in life.  Happily, she's just down the hall if he needs a quick visit and we're hoping possible Drew will get to be in Ms. Felicia's class next year too!

Thanks to Ms. Keri too for all the time spent with Evan!

Ms. Felicia.  The inside was covered
in every sticker Evan could find in
the house.  He was very proud
of his creation.
