Bye Bye Kindergarten (Jack)

May was incredibly busy for our Kindergartner.
Between field trips, birthday celebrations, pet days, programs, etc... we were kept on our toes!\
 
Because Jack has a summer birthday, he was able to celebrate at school in May.
He was so excited and finished his All About Me poster himself in about 4 minutes.
Favorite Color- Blue
Favorite Things to Do- Play Legos, Minecraft, Ride Motorcycle
When I Grow Up- I want to be an ACTOR
Pets- Fish
Favorite Candy- Starburst
Favorite Food- Macaroni and Chicken
 
 
I brought a book to read to the class ("Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus") and treats (Laffy Taffy ropes), and Tucker, Russell and I got to watch them do some of Jack's favorite activities.
 
 
 
Here he is scampering around the class...

It's fun to see how he has grown up and come out of his shell this year.
They are so apprehensive at the beginning of the year, and totally own the place by the end!
 
 
I was able to go with his class to the Bean Museum on a field trip this month as well!
Jack was a real piece of work with his buddy Wesley, and they kept me laughing.

He took the two finger petting instructions quite literally.



 
 
Moms and Muffin day was the day after my San Diego trip.
I was excited to get to spend some one-on-one time with him.
We probably should've taken our reading a little more seriously.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I can't believe it, but the end of the school year came, and Jack had Kindergarten graduation!~
He is so ready to be done!
 
 
 
Just look at this kid!
 
I was braced and ready for some tears to be shed... I mean what heartless monster doesn't get misty at a Kindergarten program?
 
 
Jack reminds me so much of myself as a kid sometimes.
Look at that serious rule follower.
 
Oh gosh he's cute.
 
 
He knew every word and action, and didn't miss a beat.
His part was to say "P is for Patriotism."
It was all so adorable, and heart wrenching.
 
After the singing program, they had us all back in Mrs. Narvaez's room for diplomas and dessert. 
Jack's teacher was so awesome this year.  She really appreciated Jack and his personality/interests.
She said nice things about him and that he * likes to stick to a schedule * tells great stories *has learned so much *and grown a lot!
 
 
 
So proud of our graduate!
 
 


 

 

 

 


 
 
Can hardly believe he'll be in school all day next year.

 
Will he eat at all?
(gulmp) ;)
 

 

Side notes:
 
Jack is such an amazing older brother.
He really does help me so much.
One afternoon, I was so tired.  I had laid down, and apparently out slept Jack and Russell's naps.
When I woke up, I could hear sounds on the baby monitor that sounded like talking.
I walked in his room to find Jack in Russell's crib, keeping him happy and entertained.
It was adorable.




 
 
Jack (and Tucker...and maybe me) has been collecting Disney Lego Minifigures for the past few weeks.  It's gotten a little out of hand.  As I felt my way through the mystery packs at the Lego store with a few other fanatics one day... I questioned what my life had become.

 
 
One day, Brett (for some odd reason) decided to introduce my kids to the Phantom of the Opera.
Boy oh boy... Jack took right to that.
He has been singing it in the car non stop since.
 
One random day I saw Jack scurry upstairs with his Zorro mask and scissors, and the next thing I knew- we were making a Phantom mask.



 
No words.
