Last Day of Kindergarten

 Last Friday was Matthew's last day of kindergarten!  Has it been a year already?

He loved kindergarten and I think it prepared him well for 1st grade next year.

Here we are leaving the house for the last day.

 And getting ready to go into his class

They had a little graduation ceremony in his class.  Each kid got to read a short (couple sentence) paper on what they want to be when they grow up.  It was very cute.  Matthew said he wanted to be an eye doctor and see patients.  He said he would give them an eye exam.

 Here he is with his paper.  He also drew a picture of someone getting an eye exam.

 All the kindergarteners getting ready to sing

 They sang a last day of kindergarten song for us.

 Here are some of us at the graduation.

 I tried to take a picture of Matthew by this display that said Class of 2025

And my visitor pass.  I only took a picture because I remember I took a picture of my visitor pass when I took him to his first day of kindergarten.  That was just days after John was born and Scott deployed...and before we knew we would be moving this summer.  What a year it has been.  We only made it through with the help of many loving family members and friends.

See pictures from his first day of kindergarten HERE.

And here is Matthew the graduate.  Kindergarten was a great experience for him and I hope school continues to be a positive experience for him in the future...on his way to becoming an eye doctor.  ;)  Congratulations Matthew!!
