school's out for summer

monday was my last day of first morning out until the fall. one of the boys in my class had a family picnic in his backyard to celebrate. he had many things to play with at his place, including a swingset, many playhouses and a trampoline. i loved jumping in there, but it got a little hard to jump at times when there were more than just two people.

i really enjoyed the swingset and tried out all the different swings. i even tried the big girl swing for the first time and one of my teachers ms bess helped teach me how to pump my legs so that i could swing all by myself without someone pushing me. she put her hands out in front of me and told me to touch them with my feet, and it worked! i didn't go very high, but i didn't mind since i was just learning how to use it.

next year, the kids who were in my class will advance to the 3-year-old class and i will still be in the two's since my birthday just misses the cut-off. i hope they will remember me and still say "hi" in the hallway even though they will be in a different class than me. i am happy that ms norman will be my teacher again next year. she has been with the program since it started 16 years ago and she loves working with 2-year-olds, which is great for me!

friday mommy and i were able to spend another morning at tweetsie. it was crowded since it was field trip day for many schools in many counties from this side of the state. i did get to meet up with my friend lilybaye and we had a great time riding the rides and watching the show together.
