Last Day of School

It is hard to believe that Adaline has had her first "official" last day of school! On Wednesday, Adaline finished up in the infants class and will be moving up to the Young Toddlers class across the hall when school restarts two weeks from now.

These pictures were taken in preparation for the last day of school - Adaline was in a great mood and wanted to play with Mommy and Daddy rather than get into the car... Hide and seek (and "peeaboo" - peek-a-boo) is a favorite game for her right now.

She LOVES her "bookies" and asks for one to read almost every morning when I wake her up!

The is what happens when you ask Adaline to smile for a picture. Bryan thinks it looks like a grimace more than a smile at times, but at least she knows what we are looking for when a camera appears! She has such a beautiful smile, though, and I can't wait until a more natural look is captured... :)

Out the door! Another posed smile - with her ever-present purse in hand - and Adaline is off to school. She was all hugs and kisses - her great mood seemed to indicate that she knew it was a big day!

Yesterday (Thursday) was her first day of vacation - and she and Mommy had a fun day together. We had breakfast at Zim's (where we ran into Bill, Eva, and Billy Bowen - whom we always seem to see at eating spots around town!), then visited Ms. Debra for a few moments. Debra obviously sensed Adaline's love for bookies and surprised Adaline with a new book about hats! Oh dear... Her love for shoes and purses is about to expand...

After running amok in Debra's office, we went to the library for storytime. Adaline is still a little young - I learned - for storytime... She wanted to run on to the stage and take the books that were displayed for the audience. When she made a run for them, I decided it was time to make a run for it - out into the actual library where there were plenty of other more available bookies for her to peruse!

After visiting the library, we had lunch with Mimi. This is a shot of Adaline cleaning up after lunch. She was so enthralled by all the people in the cafeteria that she didn't eat much more than a roll - but she was well-behaved otherwise. :) She took a long nap and probably would have slept until 4:30 if I hadn't woken her up.

I am very jealous that she is spending the day with Poppa today, and I am back at work! :( But the weekend will be here soon, and we will be off to play with her cousins Hannah, Christopher, and Matthew! Have a great Friday!
