Kindergarten Graduate

For some reason "kindergarten" sounds so little. I picture playing, crafting, circle time, routines, cuddles and lots of giggles. In my mind it is safe, secure and innocent. Grade 1 seems so grown up, it's full days, a new teacher, and a different playground with lots of "big" kids! Well, I now have a kindy graduate and a soon-to-be grade 1 boy. Grant has thrived in kindergarten and he has changed so much from the beginning of being a junior to a senior. He couldn't wait to go to school each day! Here is Grant as a "kindergartener" in a nutshell...



Junior Grant
- made many new friends at school
- loved Bob the Builder
- got his first black eye
- went to Florida
- had the chicken pox
- learned to ride his bike
- loved to fish at the cottage
- became obsessed with Toy Story
- learned to swim



Senior Grant
- learned to read
- joined a basketball league and piano lessons
- became the proud owner of Smokey the hamster
- loved Transformers and Beyblades
- his favourite thing to do at school was computers and playing
- loved playing Super Mario Bros. on his wii
- started golf lessons



I am looking forward to our summer vacation being filled with swimming in our pool, lazy days playing at home, cottage visits, and spending lots of time with our friends and family! I'll have the next couple of months to wrap my mind around that fact that I will have a son in grade 1!
