On Monday, we celebrated the little guy’s birthday (early) at school. Darth Vadar cupcakes, yes please. Having the whole class sing to him, yes please.  Dark black tongues from the icing, yes please. The little guy enjoyed every minute of it. But mommy was super proud when the teacher described him as loving and kind hearted…has she met Zacharina!

This week we also celebrated his last day as a kindergartner.  Simply wow. What a year it has been.

1. Riding the bus-the wheels on the bus go round and round.
2. Meeting new friends-boy, these friend circles constantly evolve.
3.  Learning to read–no more fooling him with misinformation.
4.  Adding and Subtracting–something tells me he has high finance in his future.
5.  Doing homework–not always a fav
6.  Playing baseball and karate, swimming on the side–he’s one super busy boy.
7.  Working past self identity-wait, I’m not the center of the universe.
8.  Perfecting his art work–the boy is an artist.
9. Singing in his holiday party–and he dances too
10. Working toward 1st grade–simply amazing
