Last day of school!

Today is Anna's last day of Kindergarten! Where has the year gone?! And what a great year it has been...we were so lucky to have the fabulous Mrs. Blair as her teacher (I'm keeping all fingers and toes crossed that Mrs. Blair will still be teaching when Matilda enters Kindergarten in 2 years!). So much has changed in the past year - Anna is taller,  a boy has a crush on her and she has two less teeth!

Matilda also had her last day of pre preschool on Wednesday. Matilda loves going to school! In the fall she'll start at an official preschool but I loved her teachers so much I actually wish she could stay 2 years old and stay with them!

Up, up and away!

Last weekend we went on the Sea to Sky Gondola. It's a new attraction that just opened last year. A ten minute gondola ride takes you to the top of the mountain where many adventures can be found - suspension bridge! viewing platforms! sweeping views of the Howe Sound! trails! playground for the kids!

Mind the Gap

Anna lost another tooth! Will the excitement of losing a tooth ever wear off? Will I ever get used to seeing a tooth hanging on by it's last thread? Don't think so since I gagged a bit as I wrote that sentence....

My note to the tooth fairy:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

Please help me remember to be prepared for when Anna loses her next tooth. Please help me remember where your special tooth fairy stationary and envelopes are. And please bring me some tooth fairy magic dust to help with the gagging.

Thank you,

Anna's Mommy

No rain on our parade!

Pirate Day!

The past few months Anna's class has been learning all about pirates! I already thought Anna's teacher was amazing but when I heard she was doing an entire unit on pirates - it's safe to say that I absolutely LOVE Anna's teacher! After who doesn't love a pirate? And I was very proud of Anna when her teacher Mrs. Blair told me that one day in class Anna raised her hand and shared this joke..."What's a pirate's favourite letter? Rrrrrrrrr!"
