Awards and kindergarten graduation

I can't believe another school year has come to an end.  Next year my babies will be in 1st and 3rd grade! :(. Yesterday was a happy and sad mamma day for sure.  We started the morning with Caden's awards program.  He ended up having an amazing 2nd grade year.  His awards included the Super Science, Star Reader, Citizenship Award, and an award for Academic Excellence.  This was his first year to get number grades not just E's or S's and he worked really hard and made straight A's all year!  I talked to him this morning about how proud we were of him.  Not just for his grades, but for overcoming the anxiety he had at the beginning of the year and for being a great friend to his classmates and sharing his faith at school.  Way to go Caden!  We love you!

That afternoon it was time for Paige's kindergarten graduation.  Of course they had a slide show that was so sweet.  They sang a song about moving up to first grade and then it was time to graduate!  I held it together the entire program until they were walking out and she ended up next to her best friend from church and school.  Seeing them walk out together and envisioning them in the future made me lose it!  Lol.  She loved kindergarten and did so well this year.  She ended on a level 14 reading level. ( you have to be on a 6 to promote to 1st grade).  She also found a love for math and drawing this year.  We are beyond proud of our Paige!
