Last night my little tiny baby boy graduated from kindergarten.
I was a little nervous about the ceremony – not nervous about how Joshua would do, but nervous that it would be, you know, torture for all involved.
But, set your expectations low, and they will be exceeded. It was so good. All 60-odd kindergartners did great! They sang, they played handbells, they walked across the stage and got their diplomas – and every part was adorable. Nobody cried, peed, disrobed, or even picked their nose. It was like, perfect. I am sure the teachers breathed a big sigh of relief!
And I got a little weepy more than once. How could I not? I am this child’s mother:
Here he is walking toward his principal, Mrs. Hines, to get his diploma:
What’s super-special about this is that “Mrs. Hines” is better known as “Rita” to me, because she is my mom’s BFF and has known me since I was born. It is really cool for me that she is Joshua’s principal!
Joshua has changed so much this year – almost all for the better – and I am so proud of him! I couldn’t be any prouder. I’m so thankful to be his mommy and excited about what his next years of learning and growing at school will bring!
Oh how cute is he??! So very glad that all went well (love the no nose picking comment) and that you didn’t dissolve into a weepy mass. Congrats to your little man 🙂
Who told him he could GROW UP???
What a great night! He looks adorable in his cap and gown. And you, my dear, are simply growing.
He’s so cute!! And, I love the pic of you two together!! You are one proud momma. Kindergarten graduations are so bittersweet.
So Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great day for you all…the real graduation will come too fast!
Love,
UP
