What a special day! Slade had his Kindergarten graduation this past week. What a difference a year makes. This has been an amazing year. Slade has done so well and he has enjoyed school like no other.
He had been telling us all month about how he was practicing for his graduation. I would ask him to tell me about it, but he would not budge. Then we were over at a friend's house and the moms told me that their sons told them that Slade had a singing part!!!! What???? I asked him about this and he just sweetly smiled and said yes. Billy and I were just wondering what in the world is he going to sing? We could not wait!
Finally it was the day. We got to the school early, took our seats and waited. There were so many people there, the room got stifling hot. Then the program started. The kids sang a few songs and then Slade went to the microphone. His song was the sweetest song ever. It was, "you are the best dad in the world." Oh my, we both were crying. He did such a good job.
After the singing, they called each student's name and said what they wanted to be when they grew up, where they wanted to live, and what their favorite part of kindergarten was.
Slade wanted to be a fireman, live in a two story house, and his favorite part of kinder was the drop in the bucket math sheets.
Slade is just wonderful. We thank God every day that he gave us him as a son. After that, we had his kinder party out on the big play ground. Brant got to come and he thought he owned the place. He even got in trouble by Mr. Shelton for trying to sneak past where only the students could go...
