Hunter officially graduated from Kindergarten this week!
Just the day before his graduation, I went in to wake Mr. Sleepyhead up for the day. He is NOT a morning person. He needs to wake up slowly and things have to be done on his accord. He said, "Why did you have to sign me up for this?!" I had to laugh as I hadn't heard that since the beginning of school. A few more days lil' guy and then summer will be here for you to recoup. His year was full of exciting firsts and much growth. I loved hearing about his day the minute he got in the car in the afternoon. He will honestly tell you the best part about school is recess and gym but I know he's enjoyed much more than that. Since he didn't go to preschool as most of the entire planet has... everything was fresh and new and he was full of excitement learning new things. It was very hard for me at the beginning of school to have him gone ALL day. I was used to Hailey being gone but he has been my buddy since birth and was by my side during my not so glorious pregnancy with Grayson. He is the sweetest boy and I love him so. I wish he could stay this young forever. I am very proud of all his hard work learning so much. He's ready for First Grade!
The invite that was sent home... We invited the family. His grandparents came!
We received several notices about dressing nice. He was handsome!

They weren't able to come to Hailey's graduation due to space issues so I was happy they were able to attend this go around. Although I honestly thought the whole program wasn't as nice/special as Hailey's graduation was when she graduated Kindergarten. It went by really quick and his teacher was nervous. It needed more pizazz in my opinion. But that doesn't take away the fact that I was proud of him!
I had a congratulations banner hanging on the living room wall, a delicious cookie cake, some silly string and a scooter he has been wanting forever waiting for him when we got home. Grammy gave him a bag of batteries. He always needs those. We shared cookie cake. Dad, Grammy & Smokey left and we went outside to ride that scooter! Hunter said "People are so nice. They give me batteries and this scooter!" Then we went to the dollar store to pick up some bubbles for his end of the school year party. Hailey bought Hunter some surprises with her own money. She got him a ball like the one she owns (he's wanted one forever as well) and a ball pop gun. It was a great afternoon.
