Oliver had a great PreK year. He had the same amazing teachers that Berkeley had and he thrived. The year flew by, of course and graduation was here before we knew it. It felt like we were just at Berk's PreK graduation and couldn't believe this was our 2nd baby already graduating too. So weird.
He had his first little crush on a little girl named Addy. Her mom came up to me one day and asked if I was Oliver's mom. She told me that Addy had a huge crush on Oliver and talked about him all the time. She told her grandma that "He wears these really cool shirts with lots of buttons and he is super fast and chases me at recess and I can never catch him cause he's so fast." Apparently they also played soccer and hula hoops during recess and they had little crushes on each other and I had no idea. They ended up being on the same t-ball team and they were both super excited about that! She came over one day and they wanted to eat microwave popcorn while they watched a movie. When the popcorn was done I brought the bag and 2 little bowls over to the couch and Oliver insisted that they didn't want bowls...they wanted to eat it out of the bag. So, they sat there, watching the movie, dipping their little hands into the bag of popcorn just like they would have at a real theater. It was pretty amusing to watch.
Some of the funny "Oliver-isms" from the year include:
One night during bed time prayers he prayed: "Dear Jesus, thank you for this day. Thank you for our house and our beds. Thank you for wi-fi..."
As he brought in some flowers that Tom had cut in the yard he came running into the house and exclaimed, "Here's some flowers, Mom! They were free from the app store!"
One of my favorites was when he learned about how when Ahab was the king of Israel, he prayed to an idol called Baal and it made God angry. One night Oliver was in bed and he said "Mom, if there was ever a statue of me I would NOT worship it. I would only worship God. I might think it was really cool and I would probably like to look at it a little bit, but I definitely wouldn't worship it."
I can't believe this little character is going to be 6 yrs old and in Kindergarten. We're proud of you Oliver. You have such a sweet spirit and a tender heart. You are a big, strong boy and you will be such a leader in your new school! Great job...we can't wait to see what the next year holds!

Oh my gosh this is so funny! I can totally hear him saying all these things! He's going to love school and he's going to do great. Hard to believe you have two in school now. Time is going too fast!!!!
