Bryan's Pre-K Graduation

Bryan is growing up very quickly!  

Bryan's buddy Aidan

It was really cute. They showed us all they have been learning. He knows way more than we were aware of.  We ask him what he learned in school, and he always says, "NOTHIN' "

But that is not true! They all said the Pledge of Allegiance.

He can do letters...sounds..

...tell time..

read (a bit), do many more things with numbers than we knew..

Here he came to give us a present..

Here, he has received his "diploma" and has decided to sing into it. 

Oh, so proud, he, he..

We are so proud of you , Bryan, you being a wise guy is starting to show in good ways!

Note behind us is our family info that has been up all year:)

Bryan loves his Nanny! 

Nanny is so proud!

It is very hard to get Bryan to look at the camera for more than 2 seconds at a time!

Poppy and Uncle Mike are proud as well

Bryan with Miss Rachel

Maybe all teachers have a gift. I think they do, but Miss Rachel was extra special. The diverse group of children that she taught this past year could not have been easy but she did it in such a way that I wish I could have taken her home with me. Her demeanor is perfect for 5 year olds. Later this week, she is leaving to follow her husband's career. we will have never missed a teacher more.  Tears come to my eyes thinking about her leaving!

After Graduation...reception...

(Also known as CAKE TIME!!)

DISNEY PICTURES!!!

We had such a great time at Disney! 

Early am at Avoca Airport...

Later that day at Hollywood Studios..

Lunch at Hollywood and Vine with the Little Einsteins and JoJo and Goliath

This was at the Bippity Boppity Boutique and it was priceless.

Ariel is her favorite.

We saved bit by bringing the dress and shoes from home:)

Best pic and blurry. Why does this happen to me?

I need to send this into the company. I love this pic.

This will definitely be framed in Maya's room!

This was at Cinderella's Castle before our meal there.

I will let you in on a secret...Bryan enjoyed meeting all characters...INCLUDING princesses!

Jasmine was very nice.

Day 3: Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney

We really enjoyed the safari ride, a LOT!

Bryan loves Pluto, and all dogs..

You are so beautiful, Maya!

Belle

Epcot confirmed that Nemo is still my favorite movie!!!

Sleeping Beauty in Norway

Snow White..

notice Maya has food in her mouth. We were one of the first tables so you could not judge when to eat. A character could come out at any bite!

Love this one too.

Waiting for our table at Le Ceilier...yummo steak house!

Day 5: Back to Hollywood Studios

Maya stole my milkshake at the sci-fi diner
