Over

I cannot believe how quickly the school year has gone.  Today is the last day of Monet being a 'First Grader'.  ALREADY!  Oh my.  And what a terrific year she has had.  We're awfully proud of her, she's coming along in leaps and bounds and I'm sure she'll have no problem being a big Grade Two girl come September.

Though with celebration comes a little sadness.  Monet will miss her teacher Ms Donna, but I won't miss Monet's impersonation of her.  Monet has her accent down pat.  And some of her mannerisms too.  We have a couple of families, of whom we are good 'mum-buddies' with, who are leaving the country.  One family is heading off to Canada for greener (sic) pastures and the other is heading back home to Australia.  Another Australian family too left last week, (hi Jenny!) for new adventures.  I am going to miss my morning and afternoon chinwags with people who understand totally where you're coming from.  But this is what happens in this country - people/families come and go.

So Monet, well done my beautiful girl - you've done us all proud.  Keep up the good work in Grade Two. *mwah* =)
