Our Graduate

Sorry for the absence yesterday. It was Issa's field day. Once again, we are a class of poets and scholars, but we played hard and had fun. And it was hot. Really hot.

Back to the recap...

Our little man graduated from preschool last Friday! They got to dress up like what they wanted to be when they grow up:

 Evan wants to design and build medical devices. I wonder where he gets that from?

The official graduation opened with the kids singing a few songs:

 This is the only picture we have of Evan looking relatively happy about this. He proclaimed he does not like to sing in front of people. The kids then exited and came in one by one to announce what they wanted to be, but Evan was too quick for a good picture. They then came in all dressed in cap and gown to graduate:

 Such a happy guy with his one of best friends, Nahi; they've been together since the infant room:

 The whole class:

 Evan was his usual photo-boycoter, but we snagged a few:

 The only picture he wanted was with Ms. Shirley, his teacher from infancy until he was three. I only got teary when she read a poem and got teary. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt she loves Evan like her own, and he loves her, too:

 Evan and Kyle, who entered the mix when they were one:

 And pure trouble--Evan and Daniel:

 Together since they were infants and headed to kindergarten together. I hope those teachers are ready.

The usual graduation Edible Arrangement arrived in the afternoon:

And now he's officially ready for kindergarten!

If you are interested, here is the whole fifteen minute ceremony. Enjoy!
