Matt's birthday is 8/31 so he is the absolute youngest in his class. Next year he will repeat Kinder at Fall Creek Elementary. So I never thought we would attend this year's Kinder Graduation. BUT...the teachers and parents said it was going to be great and so literally at the last minute I figured why not? We have already explained to Matt that he will go to Kinder again next year at a new school and he understands.
I'm really glad we went. The kids sang the cutest songs and the teachers put together an awesome video with pictures from the year. The room was decorated with these cute profiles of all the kids. Funny I spotted Matt's right away. I guess both he and I need to work on our posture!!
They walked in so proudly and took their seats. Alphabetical order blessed Matt with Hannah McCready on one side and Alena Kozul on the other! Lucky guy!
Then it was his turn to get his diploma! He was so proud!
They were most excited about throwing their hats off at the end of it all. Surprisingly only 1 went flying really high and it wasn't Matt's!
Our fabulous room Mom got all the kid's fingerprints and had this cute pot made for Ms. M. It was funny because Matt sort of took over presenting it to her like he did it all himself! Oh goodness.
I love this picture of Matt, Caden and the girls! Somehow we missed Hannah in this pic. After graduation Sarah (the twins Mom) said Alena was so sad that "the fun boys" (Matt and Caden) won't be at their school next year. And Caden got very sad too that he will also be going to a different school. Unfortunately that school is not Fall Creek either! Well...I am REALLY sad about it all too. But I know we will see Caden a lot and the girls live in the neighborhood so we will make a point to see them too. Plus Marlie thinks the world of them! And we like the McCready's way too much to not hop down the beltway to see them!
Afterwards, the kids wanted to go to Chick-fil-A to celebrate so we all went! The owners treated them to milkshakes and the boys had fun chasing the girls. I am really going to miss this group of kids and parents!! What a wonderful year it's been. I feel very blessed and know God put you all in our lives for a reason!
We are so proud of you Matt for working so hard this year. You learned how to read already and add and subtract. You write beautiful stories and draw great pictures. You have made such wise choices in friends and have behaved pretty good all year!!! We love you more than you will ever know!
