A Graduate

We're so proud of our Jonah Boy.  He is now officially a preschool graduate.  I can't believe he'll be heading off to kindergarten this fall.  I've tried not to worry too much about the politics and issues with the public school system and have decided to be a little more relaxed about his first year of school.  Let kids be kids, right?  I am a little worried about him getting bored as he's already reading very well and even reads the scriptures for us at night.  He's extremely verbal and intelligent and I hope he feels challenged enough to enjoy learning. 

We loved Jonah's teacher this year and the school was wonderful.  He felt comfortable there since he went to the same school last year.  When I asked Jonah about his graduation he said he felt pretty proud being a graduate just like Daddy was last year. 

He would often come home these last couple of months practicing his songs for his final program.  The repertoire included songs like "Skinamarinky Dinky Dink" and "Ants Go Marching" among other favorites.  He was baffled that I knew the words to some of them and asked, "Hey! How do you know that song, Mom?!" 

Jonah's favorite things to do right now are play outside with his friends, ride his bike, and build Legos.  From the moment his breakfast is done, he's out the door and usually only comes back in for lunch and dinner.  Thank goodness for a wonderful neighborhood with great kids and parents.

Tug o war with the teachers

Sophie cracks me up. She models things so seriously.  This reminds me of a picture from the '90s.

She loved field day as much as anyone
