school buddies

we are a bit sad that some of dottie's little buddies will be leaving her little daycare to move on to preschool in the next month. dottie has a late birthday so we have decided to keep her where she is until at least january or possibly next fall. two of the little girls who will be most missed are her buddies nola and lucy. when i showed up to pick her up today, she was in the backyard doing ring-around-the-rosie with them giddy with laughter as they all fell down. here are a couple of pictures of them after school today. luckily, dottie's buddy sam has just started there this week!
