graduation

Andrew has officially graduated preschool!

These two are just a week or so apart in age and have been going to daycare together since they were babies.

These three are pretty good buddies. Sam has also gone since he was a baby, but he is about 6 months younger.

After the little ceremony they had a carnival for all the kids.

Andrew asked to have his name on his forehead so that he could see it in the mirror. Nice work Miss Marissa! : )

I always thought preschool graduations were kind of silly. But now that I have a preschool graduate of my own, I understand they are actually the cutest thing in the whole world. And Andrew couldn't be more excited!

There you have it folks - the cutest kindergartner I know!

On Thursday we went to a presentation at Andrew's school to learn a little about what life will be like once he starts kindergarten. It was nice to meet the principal and the two full-day kindergarten teachers, knowing one will be his teacher. We'll find out who his teacher will be in August - at that time we'll go back and have a chance to meet her and check out his classroom.

The kids ended up going into a different room to play while we sat through the meeting. When it was over Andrew told us he already has a friend. : )

Before we left we headed out to check out the playground. While they were playing, a little boy came up to us and said "he's going to be in kindergarten?! Wow, he looks like a second grader!". It was hilarious. Turns out he's in 3rd grade and loves the school. He was telling us about the lunch menu, the morning bell, the after school Y program... He was awesome.
