Stella.

Sarah is in her fourth year at Lake Forest Park Preschool.  For 3.25 of those years, getting out the door to school was a chore.

She didn't want to go.  She refused to get dressed, put on shoes, walk to the car.  She didn't talk about her school friends.  Until the end of last year, she couldn't name more than 4 kids in her class without pictures.

This year is different.  She has friends.  Lots of them.  Going to school is fun.

No more problems with tardiness; She's always ready to put on her shoes and get out the door.  She can name nearly all the kids in her class, and when she shows interest in getting to know someone outside class, I try to make sure we set-up playdates.

Today we had Stella and Christopher.  Sarah found her purple camera in the car and took the opportunity for a photo shoot.  Lookin' good Stella!
