Closing Program (pics and details)

A week ago Friday Andrew had his closing program for the school year. It's really more of a graduation ceremony for the older class that's headed to kinder next school year, but Andrew's class sang several songs, and they each received a "diploma" as he likes to call it. I haven't quite figured out how his teacher trains these kids to perform so well since I can't get him to pick his socks up without a huge battle ensuing. But perform they did, and it was one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

He waved . . . and waved . . . and waved . . . I guess he was afraid we'd miss him. I had to pinch myself to keep from crying. Andrew isn't going to another school. He's just going to the next class, but you'd think he was headed to the moon with the way I kept tearing up. I guess I'm having just a tiny bit of trouble dealing with the fact that my baby is growing up. 

One thing was confirmed during this closing program, my child is not shy . . . not even a little shy. Actually he's quite the show stopper.

All week long, people have said things like, "Andrew did so well Friday night. He was really into it," or asked things such as, "Where does that boy of yours get his dance moves from?" I can guarantee it wasn't from his Mama. And just to be sure he covered all his bases, he not only used all his best dance moves he also sang more loudly than anyone else.

He loved every minute of it.

We are very blessed to have Andrew in a preschool that he loves and we love as well. While school is out for the summer, the preschool is open year round. He'll go on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer to give him a chance to visit his friends and give me a chance to get some stuff done. Every mom needs a break right?  ;)

Please excuse the quality of these photos. Catching a child in motion from the middle of the audience is a virtual impossibility.
