Kindergarten Graduation

Graduation Day

Zach and Miss Washburn

Zach & his buddy Benson (Yes, he is the same age as Zach. He's is so tall, I know, but such a cutie)

Ava was so excited for Zach

This is why our video of the graduation is a motion sickness nightmare! She just had to sit on my lap and periodically look at the LCD.

Zach graduated kindergarten on June 3rd. I was so sad but happy for him. I don't know what I'm going to do next year when he is in school all day. I would look forward to seeing his little blond head in the window of the bus as it passed in front of our house. I love it when he spots me on the corner and his face lights up and he yells "MOM!", as if he thought for a moment that I might not be there. I love that the first thing he asks me is "What's for lunch, mom?". I love it when he tells me about his day and how much he loves his teacher. I love it when he asks "What day is it tommorow?" and when I reply, "Saturday, why?", and he says, "I don't know. I just wanted to go to school. Thats all." I will even admit that I cried myself to sleep that night and my throat still gets tight when I talk about it. I love him so much and I want him to excel in everything he does. It is bittersweet to be a parent. I worry about him and Ava so much these days with everything that kids are exposed to. I often worry if I'm a good Mom and what he will be like when he is older. I often have to remind myselft that this is MY "test" and that if I follow His plan I can not go wrong. I love you Zach! You make me so proud to be your mom!
