Riley has "graduated" from preschool! Can you believe it? They had an End of the Year program at his school this week for the 4 year old classes. It was a packed house. Not sure why they don't hold it in the sanctuary of the church so we could see the kiddos better, but oh well. It was great to see how far he's come since he first started school in August. He use to be the one in music class who would just sit there and never open his mouth. Now he's singing along with the rest of the gang...
Riley was blessed to have a wonderful teacher this year. She use to teach kindergarten in the public schools down here so she knew exactly what the kids needed to be able to achieve before preschool was over. Riley can write so much better now and he's been reading books every week! I'm so proud of him. He's made some wonderful friends at school and loves to go...although he said the best day was Wacky Water Day because he didn't have to do ANY work! I was hoping it was because Mommy came to school that day and played games with the kids for an hour...Oh well. I guess that was part of why he didn't have to do any work that day!
Riley and Mrs. Michelle. She gave each student a sand bucket and shovel filled with goodies as well as a before and after picture of the school year.
Riley and his buddy Aiden...Yes, Aiden is a year older than Riley. Didn't want to mislead you that Riley isn't growing, although most of his class turned 5 in the fall. I think there are 4 kids including Riley who were 4 until now...For being one of the younger kids in his class, he held his own with the older ones!
Riley and Mrs. Michelle...Isn't he so handsome! My adorable Little Man!

Steph,
I am SO anxious to hear where Riley falls in school when he goes out to UT. Out west they have 1/2 day kindergarten (basically like pre K is here). I am anxious to see if he is way ahead of the kids. I cried at Pre K graduation! I think the years only go faster. Kindergarten for Kai is over and it has been hard on me. :)
