Graduation


The words of the Dora the Explorer song are stuck in my head, "We did it! We did it! We did it, yea! Lo hicimos! We went OVER to the States and started preschool. We did it! We did it! We did it, hooray! We went THROUGH the school year and learned our alphabet. We did it!..." Oh boy.
Asher didn't want to go to graduation because he wasn't really sure what it meant and what it required of him. When we told him it was basically getting a piece of paper that said he didn't have to go to preschool anymore, he didn't believe us. The ceremony was cute. I've never seen so many cameras and camcorders in one place before. The kids pledged to the flag, the Christian flag, the Bible, and then sang some songs that they had learned throughout the year. It was so great that Asher got a chance to be in this environment with lots of kids his own age and with such loving and kind teachers. I'm not sure if Asher (all the way on the left) is actually singing in this picture...I kind of think he's yawning. With all the activities of the past week, the kids haven't been getting to bed as early as they should.

He did it!!

What a great year for him for sure! I had the same thought at josiah's kindergarten graduation - never before had I seen so many cameras in one room! a little much i'd say! :)

Yay!! I haven't seen him in person since he was a baby. Now he's already been through his first graduation. They grow too fast.
