And we are off! The last week before we leave for the summer. Both kids have been in good spirits (thank goodness!!!) Good enough to pick on each other:)
This week was filled with goodbyes, see ya laters, salam alehems, au revoirs, al veederzaines (but no shaloms:) I suppose we'll be saving that for our arrival in the states!Mia had her final gymnastics class this week and we found out that she made it into Nursery. I had this big debate over whether to send her in the fall, but she is a social butterfly and asking where her friends are, so between that and the fact that she's doing physics, I figured it was time to send her. She'll be going to "the New Nursery" with Sofie in the fall! We had our final trip to Mercado too...Mia and Sofie shopped up a storm!
Speaking of Sofie, the two girls had their last gymnastics class and had a blast...they can both do handstands with their feet on the wall and cartwheels (assisted:) Mary Lou Mia and Sofie Comenicci here we come.
Aiden had his final day of school at Cocoon. It took him an entire year to get used to going to school and funny enough by the end he didn't want to leave! He got a fabulous final report...some of my favorite quotes were:"Aiden is very articulate and can express himself with ease."
"He just has to be told once and normally grasps what is to be done and is always proud of what he achieves"
"He is able to reason and eager to solve problems that come his way." AND Finally
"Aiden has come a long way in his personal, emotional and social skills, though he does have certain days when he finds it difficult to separate from mum, I have to say he has improved tremendously!"
We had a wonderful last couple of days. Had a wonderful play date with Dino, Isabel and Sofie (we made 5 dozen oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!!) YUM.
We also had a great playdate with Nader on the last day of school! The best part was finally getting to break into the pinata we had spent a week making!! There was lots of chocolate inside, delish!I had a super dinner and game night with Carol and John the night before we left. We played Scattegories until all hours of the night which was a blast!
Finally we spent our last day getting ready for our trip, packing up a storm and spending our morning with Grace, Neve and Kieran and our afternoon with Gracey and Joaquin...we're going to miss them this summer, but we are SUPER excited to get on that plane!!! See you in the states!
