2 Year Old Preschool Comes to an End

Today is Harrison's last day of 2 year old preschool and I can't believe how fast this year has flown by!  He has learned so much over the year and I have been so happy with the Summit Baptist program that he has attended.  Ms Amanda and Ms Melissa have been so sweet and Harrison has loved every minute of it!  I tried to explain to him this morning that this was going to be his last day of school but I don't think he really understands what that means yet.  I know he will really miss his teachers this summer!  I think the biggest concepts that he picked up this year are being able to sing all of his ABC's and recognizing a few of the letters.  He knows his shapes and colors and he can count to 16...sometimes 20 on a good day and he even knows a decent amount of Spanish (1-10, gracias, hola, and a few animals).  Such a proud mama am I!  We were reading a book about numbers the other night and when he saw the number "8" he said, "Look mom!  Its ocho!!"  It really caught me off guard and I thought it was so funny that he knows the Spanish name for it over the English!  Having double majored in Spanish, I am really envious that he is learning it at such a young age!
We had to miss his end of year school play this week because he caught the stomach bug so I was really sad about it but at least he doesn't understand right now what he missed!  In the scheme of things, I know its not something to worry about, but it still would have been fun to see him up on the stage singing with all his school buddies!
Here is Harrison on his first day of pre-school:

They grow so quickly and when you see them everyday its hard to notice all the changes, but its amazing how he truly has changed into a 'big kid' over the course of the year!
