Annada passed preschool ;)
I had a great talk with her teacher about how much we both love Annada. She has grown so much this year. We are very proud of her!
The biggest change in Annada is how she plays with other kids. A balloon man at a restaurant today asked Annada if she is everyone’s spokesperson.
He was joking, but it reminded me how she used to run away from other kids or have trouble getting into the games children her age were playing. She was great with older kids, but shy around kids her own age. Now she makes friends everywhere she goes and other kids seek her out to play with them.
Mrs. Kisner said Annada is extremely emphatic and is the first to help her classmates. Annada’s always been compassionate, but now she has learned when to help and when to step back.
That’s a tough skill! And it shows when I drop her off – the other kids run to give her hugs.
I’m very proud of you, Annada!
Good job at pre-school and I’m so glad you play nicely with the other kids!
