Gavin's preschool celebration



Gavin is officially moving up from his three year-old class... *tear*. There is something about those three year-olds that is so stinking adorable. I love it. I guess he did turn four though, so he is more than ready to be in the next class. Thankfully, most of his four year-old friends are moving up with him!

The theme of the celebration was Noah's Ark, so each child picked an animal and decorated a paper plate mask. There were lions, tigers, a bird, a dog, a hippo... and our little monkey!


When asked why Gavin wanted to make a monkey, he said, "I want to make ears and eyes and a mouth and legs and a tummy for my monkey... and let's make a banana too."

When asked what he would do if he were a monkey, he said, "I would take my banana to my tree so I can eat it. I don't want to wear shirts and pants when I'm a monkey."

His teachers also said that Gavin likes books best about preschool, he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, and they have especially enjoyed his peaceful nature.

Then they recited a verse and sang a few songs.

Two little monkeys swinging from a tree,
teasing Mr. Alligator, "You can't catch me!"
Along comes Mr. Alligator, quiet as can be...
and SNAPS that monkey right out of that tree!
Our God is an awesome God,

He reigns from heaven above... with wisdom, power, and love,
Our God is an awesome God!

It's been such a fun year and I can't believe how much Gavin has grown since his first day back in September!
