Olivia's Preschool Party

Olivia's preschool "graduation" party was Saturday at an Iowa City rec center. All of the kids sang songs in English and Spanish that they had learned in preschool, and danced to their favorite tunes. It was great to watch her having such a good time with all of her friends and really hamming it up for the crowd. In our opinion, she had the best moves of anyone! The 4 year old children received a diploma, while Olivia will receive a certificate of participation. Olivia really came full circle in school this year. The first few months had me wondering if she would ever enjoy herself at school, and the last few months had me wondering if she missed me while she was there since the drop off consisted of her running in and not looking back!

Olivia and her friends McKenna and Mana had a great time dancing together after the dinner. We were among the last to leave due to Olivia having such a good time playing (which also meant that we were recruited to help clean up!).
