When Did I Grow Up?: Flex-Ka-Bibble

Charlie has gone to Little Zion (her preschool) for two years. Not too long in the whole scheme of things, but the time has been pretty significant. Making friends, zipping coats and learning phone numbers. One day Mrs. Rufleuth (pronounced Ruffle-ah) asked everyone what their phone numbers were. Well, we've worked on that with Charlie, along with our address and such. Anyway, when she got to Charlie my daughter said, "Well, Mrs Rufleuth, I'm still too young to own my own phone but my dad's is . . ."

I think that pretty much sums up my daughter in school. Whip smart, that one.

Here's a pic of Charlie and two of her school friends. This is, basically, how each day began and ended.

Shogun took Charlie to get her toes painted for her graduation. Quinn went but didn't get anything painted. Note the splint from where Dianna let Charlie break her arm.

Here's the class (and Asher who was basically the class mascot) on the last day. That's the pirate ship aka Noah's Ark. At this point the teachers even call it a pirate ship. YA Harrrrr!

At the graduation. Everyone from the 4's and 5's (Charlie was in the 5's) got to celebrate. First came the singing of songs. She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain (which is actually about Jesus - learned that from Neil Young on Fresh Air), I Had a Little Chicken, Take Me Out to the Ballgame all yelled to us by 30 pre-K kids.
