My boys and Me: Graduation

Cole's big day finally arrived! Graduation. Todd and I were so proud of him. Hard to believe he's going to be starting kindergarten in the fall. We have been so blessed, having the Goddard School and all the wonderful teachers there in our lives. They truly are wonderful and I don't regret for a moment our decision to send the kids there. The staff and directors take such a personal interest in your children and always make us, the parents, feel welcome anytime! Cole's teachers Miss Abby and Miss Tammie are so great with the kids. There were lots of tears and hugs at the ceremony. Luckily for us, Cole will attend their summer school program, and we still have little Gavin in attendance there until we move or he turns 5! The school has also agreed to have alumni come back during kindergarten vacations and summer break if the parents need it, so that is really great and a big relief!

Cole got dressed up in a nice shirt and tie, "just like Daddy." The kids had a few songs and poems they performed for us. The teachers also put together a dance number for the kids to perform! Then they got their caps and received their diplomas. The ceremony ended with a video the teachers had been putting together, clips and little moments of all the kids through out the year. It was so nice, and many of the parents, teachers, and even kids were crying! The night ended with a nice reception. Cake, punch and fruit was served. All the parents were given a copy of the video. Cole has wanted to watch it non-stop! The following morning he watched it 5 times! I finally had to set a limit on it. The teachers have since told me that other parents have come in and are telling them the same thing.

Below are photos from the night, and some video clips as well! Cole has a "new face", I'm sure you'll easily spot it in most of the photos.
