Kindergarten Graduation

Yesterday was the last day of school for the big kids. What a difference a year makes. They have both grown so much in the last 10 months. Here is a side by side of the first day of school and the last day of school. Huge difference! And much shaggier hair!

Andy had his kindergarten graduation yesterday. He loved going through the tunnel of big kids. It s a tradition at the school, the transition to the big kid playground. I think the big kids love it just as much as the kindergartners. Not many schools involve all the classes in the kindergarten graduation.

Andy looked so handsome in his graduation cap. 

Mrs Lee asked each student what his favorite part of kindergarten was. Andy said, "Learning about whales"

Julie was excited she got to come watch the graduation, but I think she was even more excited about getting to hold Jemma during the announcements!

She and Andy were both excited to see Auntie Audrey and their cousins! We were all sad though that Memere wasn't feeling well, so she couldn't make it. 

Andy and Lauren would barely stop eating their watermelon for a picture. You can tell though how happy Andy is!

 And he obliged momentarily for a picture with Grammy and Pop-pop!

 He also posed with his sweet friend Taylor.  They have become great friends and he has already asked many times if they could spend time together over the summer.

 We are so proud of our big man. He did great in kindergarten and we can't wait to see how he flies in 1st grade!  I can't even believe we have a 1st and 2nd grader!!

After the graduation, we took Andy for something he has wanted for months....a mohawk!! Now he is officially ready for summer!
