Friday, August 14th was Hadley's last day at Ms. B's before starting kindergarten, and in honor of that special occasion we had a Pool Party/Field Trip at Splash Cove with all of her friends from pre-school! It was a really great way to celebrate a great year and a half at a GREAT school!!
Makoto, Hadley and Corrie making their way up the splash tower!

Makoto and Addison going down the slide!
Gam...one of the "teachers" for the day!
This is Hadley and her very, very, special friend Makoto. Makoto is a Japanese foreign exchange student who is staying with Ms. B and also working with the children at the preschool on a daily basis. Makoto and Hadley developed a very special bond over the past few months, and I have no doubt that Hadley will remember Makoto and the special impact she has had on her for the rest of her life. Makoto told me one day that Hadley is like a little sister to her. HOW SWEET!! She also said that Hadley is so helpful when Makoto is reading books to the children. She says that if she gets to a word that she doesn't know that Hadley will help her sound it out or tell her what the word is. That just melted my heart! That is our girl! We are so proud of her and her giving and loving personality. She is an absolute joy to raise and we are so thankful for her! We are also so thankful that she got to meet Makoto! She talks about her all of the time and she can't wait to have her over to our house for a visit (which we plan to do very soon!)

Good bye hug from Makoto...and here is where I started to cry!
The interaction between the two of them is so sweet!
Miss Corrie!
Good bye hug from Ms. B (then I started crying again)...oh how I hate good-byes!
And one last smooch!
Ms. B is a FANTASTIC teacher and we cannot thank her enough for all that she has done! Hadley has learned so much there and grown so much as an individual, plus we love knowing that she is in such a loving/caring/creative/homey environment. We could not be more happy with the preschool and are excited for Seville to start there on Monday even though I can hardly stand the thought of saying good-bye to our beloved Mrs. Gail!! Oh why is change so hard for me!!! I just hate change...always have...always will!
