Drew's Preschool Graduation

May 16th: Drew graduates from preschool! Hard to believe our baby will be in kindergarten this fall! He had a great year, his teachers just adore him and he thought the world of them as well! This year has been a big one for Drew, he is much less timid around the other kids, much more assertive than the beginning of the year, and he is learning to read and write and doing a great job! He already misses preschool, but he's so excited to be going to school with the big kids, and most excited to ride the bus! Mommy is not so sure she's ready to put him on a bus, however!

Drew will be back...he has two sisters to go through preschool still, so he told his teachers, "Don't worry, I"ll come and see you when we pick up my sisters!!"

A close up of Drew and Mitch (courtesy of Mitch's dad, Kurt)...Drew and Mitch have been together since the Young 3's class, so 2 1/2 years (Drew started the class halfway through)...at the beginning of the year, their teachers told me that they had never had two boys that were such good friends in their class before. I actually did get choked up at the graduation seeing the boys together and knowing that next year they won't have each other in kindergarten since they will go to different schools. Whenever we ask Drew "What did you do at school today?", the answer always involves Mitch. I can't imagine his school day not involving Mitch, so it's going to be a change! Luckily, we will still be able to get Drew and Mitch together since we live close, so hopefully they can continue to be great friends outside of school!!
