That's a Wrap: End of Preschool (Year One)

 

Because of her late August birthday, Macey is currently wrapping up her first year of preschool at the same age Camden was when he started his (3 years, 9 months). While we're still undecided about whether or not we'll "redshirt" Macey for kindergarten, I'm so glad we went ahead and sent her to preschool this year. She's had a great year and made some sweet new friends.

 

 

Also, although I don't love driving 20+ minutes to preschool, I'm still completely confident with our decision to switch her to Camden's old school back in November. Our neighborhood preschool was so, so convenient-- think: a 3 minute drive-- but some things are worth a little inconvenience (and a little more expense). This is one of those things. Macey has blossomed in this hands-on, play-based preschool environment.

 

 

Here's a little glimpse into Macey at 3 years, 9 months old. All answers are direct quotes from Macey.

 



 

Favorite color: "Pink"

Best friend: "Big Lainey, little Lauren, and Nan" (9-year-old neighbor friend, 4-year-old baseball friend, and of course, her grandmother.)

Favorite sport: "Soccer ball" (I keep trying to explain to them that it's actually just called soccer, but so far, both Camden and Macey refer to it as 'soccer ball'.)

Favorite food: "I like white donuts, chocolate donuts, and glazed donuts." (So basically, health food.)

Favorite thing to play: "My toy Elsa and my toy Anna."

Favorite thing to do with Daddy: "Play baseball with him."

Favorite thing to do with Mommy: "Play some important stuff." (We play some really important stuff, for sure.)

Favorite thing to do with Camden: "Watch him play Punch Out on the WiiU".

Favorite place to go: "Rainbow Room". (An indoor playground.)

Favorite trip: "A hotel where there's pools."

Favorite thing to do at school: "I like to be in the kitchen 'cause the kitchen has a pretend phone you can call your mom on." (Seriously, awww...)

What do you want to be when you grow up? "A princess." (Duh.)

 

 

Ready for a fun-filled day at school.

 

Sibling love.

 

I say it all of the time, but it's true: she's the happiest girl I know.

 

Macey takes time to smell the flowers-- pretty much a metaphor for the way she lives life.

 

With one of her aforementioned BFFs.

A tad proud of her first gymnastics trophy. 

Make no mistake: she can hold her own with the big boys.
