Back in September I couldn't believe that Shane was starting Kindergarten and now I cannot believe that he has graduated! Emotions were high with Shane's big day not only because he was graduating but I decided to go to work this last week of school so I could spend some time in his class. They had been practicing for weeks for this big day! Songs, certificates, and even more songs!
Shane was proud to show off Landon to his friends and their parents after the ceremony. I however, cannot believe how big my little baby is. Well, I cannot believe how ALL my boys are!
Grandma and Grandpa Stewie were still here from Landon's blessing and it was so nice to have them here for the festivities. I loved having Sadie and Shane in the same class. I loved being able to see Shane learn each day and with his friends in class. I loved hearing the other kids call his name to play out on the playground ready to play at recess. I loved being a part of centers, painting, writing, and calendar time. I loved being in Kindergarten!
I don't know how we got so lucky to get Mrs. Stemp but she is amazing! Her calling in life is to teach and she adores each and every one of her students. She exposed Shane to butterflies, chickens, various foods, good manners, reading, writing, and more than I can remember! She was the perfect match for our Shanners.
It's weird to see these two together like this. It seems like just yesterday Shane was in this carrier and I was carting him around. Now he is off to first grade and our newest little guy is fresh in the carrier.
I'm proud of Shane for all of his hard work in Kindergarten. He made so many good friends and learned so much. In a few short weeks he will be off to first grade all day! He is excited to start school in Mrs. Gray's class but is hesitant to leave Mrs. Stemp but good thing is he can always visit before or after school.
See that natural coolness.
This little guy has only been in our lives for such a little amount of time but already he rocks our world.
He's adored by mom and loved by dad. His brothers can't seem to get enough of him either. Trevor loves going up to him and kissing him while saying in a high pitched voice, "Hi, baby. Hey baaaby!" Shane continues to tell Little L how big he is getting and that he needs to stop growing. Those are words Shane hears from me all of the time and I love that he reflects that conversation onto his littlest of brothers.
He is serious about how cool he looks but isn't too cool for kisses from his family on those darling chubby cheeks! We love you little L.
