Freedom!

New approach

I came to a realization-- I mainly take so freaking long to post pictures because of the writing process. While I love to add context and commentary, I struggle to find moments when I can focus enough. (And, let's face it: if I have an uninterrupted window of time, I'm going to put away laundry or watch Project Runway or something productive like that.)

So I've decided to try a new approach in the spirit of posting more more often. No writing. Just pictures.

Preschool graduation

Travis graduated from preschool last Thursday.

We celebrated at a park near his school. The kids sang songs (including one hilarious number about a skunk), got their diplomas, picked a prize, and had a little party.

 

 

 

 

 

Along with his diploma, we received a copy of a questionnaire he filled out earlier in the week.

1. My favorite part of preschool was: going to the zoo.

2. The hardest thing to do was: reading books.

3. My best friend is: Rebeka.

4. I'm excited for Kindergarten because: you get to do numbers there.

5. When I grow up, I want to be a: Daddy.

6. My favorite thing I learned to do in class was: sing.

7. This summer, I'm going to: swim.

Travis grew so much this year-- he learned to read, write, do more challenging math, focus better in class, express himself through art & music, and follow school rules. He also made some good friends. A huge thank-you to Mrs. Walls for her attention and hard work!
