Noah Graduates From Kindergarten!!!

On May 27, 2010 Noah graduated from Kindergarten at Oak Chan Elementary. What a great year he had! We'd made the decision to keep him home an extra year when he was 5 and really feel it was the best decision for him. He started school at age 6 but loved being the oldest, tallest, fastest, smartest kid in school (according to him). It did great things for his confidence. He had lots of friends, boys and girls, and his teachers all raved about him. They were sad to be losing their super responsible Noah. Joshua has some big shoes to fill this next year!

Noah with his diploma. He opened it up to find a blank piece of paper. What a rip off! However, the next day he received the real thing in class. What a relief!

The ONLY time Noah would smile for graduation was when he got the post-graduation ice cream sandwich. Must be my kid.

Noah with his buddies Tayne Jones, Colin Veers, and Jacob Granados. I'm curious to see this picture recreated at their high school graduation. What fun!
Incidentally, Noah was all dressed up in his Sunday-go-to-meetin's when I took him to school as I assumed he was supposed to dress up. However, when I saw other kids being dropped off they were all in shorts and t-shirts, definitely not dressed up. I didn't want him to stand out like a sore thumb, so I took him home to change. However, a few hours later when I came to the graduation there were several kids dressed up super nice, like Jacob. Oh well.

Noah with his fantastic teachers: Mrs. Moffit, Mrs. O'Reilly, and Mrs. Greco. Loved these ladies!

Joshua was super happy to get an ice cream sandwich too!

The boys came home for some post-graduation kitty love.
