Goodbye Kindergarten: Congrats Karter!!

I never thought I'd say this, but I can't believe how fast my baby is growing up! This year has flown by! (And I'm sure the summer will too and then he'll be in 1st grade!)
Karter graduated Kindergarten on Thursday, May 22nd. The daycare really went all out- they had caps and gowns and everything. All the little kids looked so cute! They did their cute little walk down the aisle to the graduation song and then stood in a group on the stage. It was hilarious to watch the kids try to stand still and be quiet.... meaning that they didn't. Then the said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the National Anthem (I'm surprised they can still do that in school). It was so awesome! That song gives me the chills everytime I hear it and to hear these kids sing it was even cooler.
Then they sang this cute little alphabet song where with each letter they said something that started with it and did the action and/or sound. For E was elephant, of course, and Karter's elephant sound stood out- he does it so cute. I wish I would've gotten it on camera. Then they had each kid come to the mic and say what their favorite thing about Kindergarten was. Karter's was learning money and farm animals. Then they handed out the "diplomas" and now's it's official! My baby is not in Kindergarten anymore!
I'm shocked at how fast time is flying- but not sad (yet). With Karter, each new thing has been so exciting for all of us. Next year he'll be a 1st grader at Riverdale Elementary. I want summer to drag on as long as possible but I'm sure it'll fly by and the next school year will be here in no time.

CONGRATULATIONS KARTER!!! I LOVE YOU!!
