Liam's first day of school, Fall 2008
Liam's last day of school, June 26
Liam had a little graduation from his preschool. No matter that he will go next year to the exact same preschool but it is a moment to document just the same. He was quite excited about it and it was jam packed full of activites and frivolity.
It is really exciting to me to see how far Liam has come in the past year. When he began his speech therapy when he had just turned 2, he was just saying eight words. Yes, eight. By the time his year had ended with his home visits with his therapist when he was almost three, he was saying quite a bit and his therapist didn't think he would qualify for the preschool because he was doing so well. I am glad he did because he was also a bit behind socially as well and it is so fun to see him interact more with kids his own age. He has not only made significant progress with his speech in the last couple months, but even his bus driver has noticed a difference with his interaction with people. I cannot believe he is almost four and although he is a year behind in his vocabulary and comprehension, his favorite thing to call people right now is "poopoo diaper baby"...I don't think we have anything to worry about right?
The theme was the beach...they had a craft table where the kids made a beach scene with stickers, their own sun visor, two sand tables for the kids to play in, and of course a snack table with juice boxes and goldfish crackers.
We were then treated with a selection of 3 songs they had learned throughout the year. That is always my favorite part. Liam wasn't too sure of being in front of the crowd of people, but did some of the actions and sang a few of the words.
After the program was the ceremonial walk and luckily he was the second one called down, he was getting a little antsy by this point. They gave out a certificate, a cute ocean book, and a little sand bucket with shovel. He was super excited and hopefully we will get to use it sometime soon!
Congratulations Liam! I can't wait to see the progress you make this year!

Liam is such a dear and we are so glad that he is and has done so well in pre-school. We can definately see the change and is so much fun to have around. Yes, he fits in fine with the "poopoo diaper face" comment. He's a boy.
He is an adorable child. What a cute little smile.
He is making the most coy little faces, I Liam and his "nickles"!
