Derek's 4th Birthday and other fun events

Derek turned 4 on May 22.  We celebrated in the usual style - dinner at Friendly's and fun at Chuck E Cheese.  Derek continues to bring so much joy into our lives.  He started reading recently and learned so quickly.  He LOVES to read and is so proud of himself for being able to do it.  He also loves singing.  I love to listen to him sing along to the various "Silly Songs" CDs we have in the car as well as Primary songs, even if he is a bit off key.  That just makes it all the more endearing.  :)  In Primary he always knows the answer when they are asked the words to a song.  He is a fast learner.  He is also very bossy.  He likes to make sure things are done the way he thinks they should be done.  Derek also loves to be read to and he gives great hugs.  We love you, Derek.

End of the year Preschool trip to the Lehigh Valley Zoo

Preschool Graduation
Derek had a great year in preschool.  His teachers, Mrs. Kollar and Mrs. Shepard were fabulous.  The end of the year program was really cute.  The kids sang a bunch of fun songs.  My favorite was Peanut Butter and Jelly, which unfortunately, we didn't get a video of.  They also sang a cute skunk song.  Derek was the job boss at school.  He always knew who was in charge of what and made sure everyone did their jobs.

  1. Derek, So glad you enjoyed preschool and all the things you learned there. I really enjoyed it when you would read the Wii manual to me. Sounds like now you can read a whole lot more.
