Kindergarten is in the books!

My last day walking my kindergartner to school with just the two of us.  

The last week of kindergarten was an emotional one!  When I said "Today is your last Monday of kindergarten!"  the tears began, for both of us.  And it was the same on his last Tuesday, last Wednesday, last Thursday, and the very last day of school.  He really loves school.

4 kids were absent, already traveling to their home countries

Freddie and Ms. Shappee

Charlie, Hans, and I got to visit Freddie's class with other families to celebrate the end of the year and look through all of Freddie's work through the year.  So amazing to see how much he has grown academically.

I drew a picture and wrote a note on every single lunchbox napkin this year.  Wonder when he'll ask me to stop.

The last day of school he asked that the whole family walk him to school and pick him up.  He had decided we'd have a lunch celebration since it was a half day of school.

Last day of kindergarten!

The walk the last day of school was just like all the others.  He had to run ahead to get into the building as soon as possible!

My boy picked Popeye's for lunch.  I didn't complain, but did find it funny that this was his idea of a big meal out.

He got his report card, and all rave reviews except for one comment from his music teacher about "more singing and less talking."  He is quite the social butterfly, but he did take this comment to heart and seemed a bit bummed that it was written on his report card.  That's the consequence of being silly in music.  Something to improve on next year, my love.

First day of summer vacation

Can't believe he's finished kindergarten, and moving up to 1st grade!  I am so very proud of him, and so thankful for a successful start to school.
