last day of preschool

Wednesday was Andrew's last day of preschool for the year. His class had a tricycle parade and picnic which Loren and I were both able to attend. Andrew hasn't figured out how to ride his trike yet (or any for that matter). We can't get him to push the pedals! (It'll come...one day it will just click.) He borrowed one from his friend Kylie - a trike that has a long handle, so someone could push him. Genius, right? We felt sorry for Miss Kate who was pushing Andrew through the parade, so Loren took over. Andrew was livin' it up, but soon decided he wanted to get off of his trike and walk it around the roped off area. That lasted all of a couple of minutes when he realized it was more fun to run. The kids rode their trikes (or ran around) for awhile. After that they sang a few songs for the parents. Most of the kids were shy performing in front of us, including Andrew, but it was still cute. My favorite part was the one time Andrew came out of his shell while the kids were singing songs. The last song was more on the religious side, but I can't remember what it was. The only word I remember is, "Amen!!" because that was when Andrew got really excited and shoved his fist up in the air (see picture above) every time that line of the song came up. We also had a picnic lunch with the other parents and kids, and hung out for awhile. It was a gorgeous sunny day - a good way to wrap up the school year.
