Ethan has graduated Kindergarten. Such a momentous event in his life (snicker, snicker). It was marked by a grand celebration. We were presented with three songs (including the lyrics above ... I don't make this stuff up) in the library followed by a certificate of graduation and a slide show.
{Ethan really got into this song ... I think his timing might be off?!?}
What followed after in the classroom could be compared to the likes of 22 five and six year olds during a happy hour. Lots of mingling, drinking lemonade, water and punch while devouring the free food (aka cupcakes and cookies).
I was surprisingly free of any type of emotional break down. Although seriously, could I cry when my baby's graduation cap was on sideways with the hang tag sticking straight out?
Look how far we've come ...
{First Day, August 2009 - Last Day, June 2010}
Same goofy grin, a few less teeth, a few inches taller ... but overall no drastic change. Still my sweet little guy who I get home for the next 7 weeks!!
So lucky to call this one 'my job' and spend my days making his world right.
Happy Tuesday!

Congrats E! When did our kids get so big? Weren't they all just babies yesterday?
Wishing you a slow summer, filled with fun!
Yay Ethan! I wish I could have been there for that special performance =)
Sweet!! He is just growing up so fast!
Love these pictures. I think the one with him clapping is my fav. :)
And your porch is SOOO cute!! I love it. Are you sitting out on it every evening now?
OMG - too funny. I love the comparision to happy hour - too bad you didn't videotape it! The pictures are great, and I am glad it was not a traumatic day for you! And just another party day for E - given his response when I called and said 'congratulations' (silence)and then 'on graduating' (silence)and 'are you glad to be done with kindergarten?' finally responding 'oh, yes'.
Oh goodness, I had that song stuck in my head for days after Maddy's graduation last year! Congrats Ethan on graduation :) First grade is a totally different school experience but I am sure he will love it!
also meant to say I love the new look here! adorable banner!!
aw, little man. so cute, and could that hat be any funnier- completely squishing his ears?! also loving the happy hour comparison :) and I love the new look around here, very clean and fresh!
Congratulations E (and Andrea and Matt too)! He's a very dashing first grader. XOXO!
