Thomas' Kindergarten Graduation

I'm horribly behind with blogging, but the only way to recover is one post at a time...so bear with me!

Back in early June, Thomas graduated from Kindergarten and actually will start first grade in less than 2 weeks! Even though we both started Kindergarten not really sure of what was in store, I have to say it went really well. Thomas loved it all- his teacher, the things he learned, going each day, etc. It was great to have him gone for a few hours as it gave me time to spend with Hailey and Colin too! It made me realize as much as I enjoy being home with my kids, they really do need other entertainment and stimulation as they grow older. He just did so well and Adrian and I are so happy he enjoys school!

Here are a few milestones Thomas reached over the course of the school year:
  • Learned to read- at the beginning of the year he really didn't read much at all, save a few words here and there. Now he's plowing through step 2 and 3 books with chapters and everything! He loves to read about insects, animals and anything really science related.
  • Lost 2 teeth!
  • Moved out of the little boys section at the department store as he's now size 8 in everything! He's officially 4'2" tall and has grown roughly 3" since the beginning of the school year. Crazy!
Here are some pics from graduation. They had a cute little program where they sang songs, recited a few poems and of course, got their little diplomas.
Here he is accepting his certificate from the principal and posing with his teacher, Mrs. Wells.
