My Other Graduate!

Xander Graduated Pre-School on Tues the 19th. They had a program and sang a lot of songs. He did such a great job! I'm so proud of him.
This is Xander with one of the girls in his class named Hallie. Xander tells me that she is his girlfriend and that he's going to marry her. I can't believe he's already going after the girls!
Xander was waiting patiently for his diploma and Mara decided that she was going to wait with him.
Xander and Mrs. Konni Youd! She is an amazing teacher and has helped him by leaps and bounds this past year! Xander was awarded for having the best handwriting! I am proud of him for that because he's left handed!!!
For a graduation present, we got Xander a new Lego set! He loves the rock monsters that come with the Power Miner sets!
A few things that Xander has learned this past year at school:
  1. How to hold a pencil the correct way. (I tried for months to teach him, but after one week at school he knew how to "pinch a crayon"!)
  2. He knows some songs that I don't!!
  3. He knows the sounds of each letter.
  4. Can write uppercase and lowercase letters.
  5. He knows how to read and loves doing it!!
  6. He knows how to do addition and subtraction and loves to play "plusses" with anyone willing to give him some numbers to add. (He does it in his head too!!! And not just single digits either!)

I'm so proud of him and know that he will love Kindergarten in the fall. Now, what am I going to do to keep him busy until then!?!

How exciting! I can't wait for Jack to start preschool this year. I've been trying and trying to get him to hold a pencil correctly with no success. I guess those preschool teachers know what they're doing.

He is the cutest Graduate I have ever seen! :) Hey, just because he is left handed does not mean it is extraordinary that he writes well. Lefties are special too, you know.....I am just saying. :)
