Mireille- **SCENIC ROUTE**

Ever since February Amber is asking me on a daily base "how many days till school?"
She will turn 4 on October 25 and the Monday after that she can start.
There are 2 months to go so I made her a clipboard with a calendar for her bedroom.
Every night before reading a bedtime story we put a little cross in the square of that day.. "another day closer to school"
I hope she will keep this enthousiasm for school for the next years to come.
