Today Graham graduated from kindergarten. His school had a very sweet little ceremony for the kids where they sang songs and each child got to walk across the bridge representing their move up to 1st grade. More than once I got a little teary at this first milestone in his scholastic life. For the past 2 years he's been at a Montessori school about 20 minutes away from us. Next year he will go to the local public school just a few blocks away. He'll be glad to not be riding the school bus and he hopes that one of his soccer team buddies will be in his class but I don't think it has really sunk in that he will be in a new school with a whole bunch of new kids.
Below are photos of him on his first and last days of kindergarten.
Here is his class singing the song:
Kindegarten, kindergarten
Now its time to say goodbye to kindergarten
Look at the progress we've made
Now its time to go to first grade
about this video: click on the box in the far right bottom corner to make the video appear bigger. Graham is in the middle. Sorry for the bad focus in the first half, I had no control over low lighting!
We started work on the kitchen renovation today. The wall between the kitchen and sunporch is being knocked out to expand the kitchen. The sunporch will be insulated and new flooring & windows will be installed. The floor will be the same throughout which means we will be covering up the old asbestos-based flooring with something new and wonderful, like wood.
Stay tuned for more adventures in This Old House, Beacon edition.
That's right folks, Graham's very first T ball season is underway and he's already getting calls from the majors. Here he is in his victorious first ever at-bat swinging like a champ. Next stop, Red Sox training camp!
