The Klopp Quads: Last Day of K, Summer Vacation Here We Come!

Whoa, I see that the last entry was around the first day of kindergarten and here I am writing on their last day. I don't keep the blog updated anymore (OBVIOUSLY) but for those of you who are curious, here's what we're up to...

The girls did awesome all year in kindergarten. In the fall, the girls came home and were utterly exhausted but through the year they got more and more used to the schedule. These girls dropped their naps pretty late in age so I'm not surprised it took awhile. (Will on the other hand dropped his nap a long time ago so we'll see in a couple years if that helps.) They all blossomed in their own ways. Sofia became more confident- a year ago at Preschool graduation she looked away from the audience the whole time and was terrified but this year she was looking ahead and singing with everyone! Josie is my rule follower and I trust her the most to do the right thing and kind of "be in charge". Madeline is still the funniest and tells stories from the day with so much animation. Age six has been so amazing...I'm loving their personalities and seeing them start to read and do math. In the fall the girls are going in three different classes for the first time. Their teacher and we decided it was best for them to become more confident on their own and not rely on each other socially. I think it will be hard for the first day or week but I know they will do great!

In school, each girl would tell you that recess was their favorite part of the day, but they all like math and working on reading and writing too. It's crazy what they get the kindergartners to learn compared to when I was in K.

Will and I had a LOT of one-on-one time this year. We miss having the girls around and look forward to the summer! I do not meet his level of obsession with Star Wars much to his dismay, haha! He and I went to ECFE the whole year back in Roseville and he loved it (as did I). He asked every day if it was Wednesday yet so he could go to school. In the fall he will start at Valley Preschool (where the girls went) for two mornings a week. He's getting so big. Everyone will tell you he is so hilarious, smart, and sweet but of course he's in temper tantrum territory still.

Picture overload ahead. First I'll post some graduation pictures from today, then I'll put in some pictures to show some highlights of the year. Thanks for reading after such a long break. If I update the blog again it will probably be after a good chunk of time again (I'll just be honest this time!)
