A School-Year Completed

Emily's last official day of preschool (she still likes to call it "pretty school") was today. All the preschool speech programs had a celebration in the school's courtyard with snacks, crafts and games. Em had a lot of fun. I, on the other hand, was relegated to the birdhouse-making table which involved the used of yarn, toilet paper rolls, peanut butter and bird seeds....and preschoolers. I'm going to be smelling peanut butter for a long time.
Anyhow, I thought I'd post the first-day-of-school photos and the last-day photos to compare.
Above is Em's first day of preschool on September 18, 2007.

Above and below are Em's pictures from this morning. Notice the difference in height. She's going to be sooooo tall.


A close-up of Miss Em, who insists on correcting us if we call her sweetie pie (or anything else) and reminding us that her name is (in her own special pronunciation) "Emiwee Ewivef ". This of course, is Emily Elizabeth, for those who don't speak Emily!

That's a lot of growth in 8 months... Isn't it?

Same shoes, though. It's comforting that her feet aren't keeping up with the rest of her.

Yes, Chris, I do believe that is a lot of growth. I don't know how much is "normal" over that period, but it sure seems like a lot to this mommy.

Did I mention that we go through a lot of clothes?

And while they do appear to be the same shoes, they are in fact a different pair. She loves her Disney crocs so much that "Bamaw and Pa" got her another pair in the next size up.

Well i would say what a cutie pie...but she would not be amused by that, so I will say...what a beautiful Emiwee Ewivef. :) MISS YOU!!!
