Summary
She is done with preschool! She has a few more weeks of daycare before the summer break, and then it will be time for school.
Social
She is happy to have a friend in her class for the autumn, but is a bit sad that most of her classmates from eskari are grouped together in the other classrooms.
Leisure
She is enjoying the freedom to move around the neighborhood without supervision. She is clearly tired out by her old bike but is still nervous about riding the bigger 20" bike. She resolves the issue by not riding much.

She has not enjoyed her gymnastics class this spring, but saw it through to the end.
Books: The "You Should Meet" series is fun so far -- she was really impressed with Misty Copeland and Katherine Johnson. She has re-discovered the Junie B Jones books and she is enjoying the jokes (äiti is torn about this: they are funny but the kid is kind of rude and also the book is written with lots of grammatical oddities so that it sounds like the voice of a 6 year old ... but she does not have a lot of exposure to English all day so it feels wrong that our English reading is full of "bad" English). She also really likes having the audio books to listen to after we turn out the lights at bedtime.
She loved playing with the heavy duty water guns at the neighbors' house.
Learning
She really enjoyed the school open house day and she is excited to start school in August. They gave all the kids ice cream and they loved it.
28.5 learned about the money you get from the store for recycling bottles. We found a bottle on the path and she took it to the store. She is delighted, and now watches like a hawk for discarded bottles and cans.
Language
Not much change here.

I agree about the Junie B. Jones books. I haven't cared for those using "kid" language. Sounds like Lumi is making some pretty grown up decisions these days.....nice!!! Thanks for writing all this!!!!
