Puttin' Down Roots: Preschool Promotion

The BIG Graduate!

It is hard to believe that we attended an actual PROMOTION for Noah today. Now, it was only preschool, but it's hard to believe a whole year has passed! He has grown so much. He not only physically grew, but mentally and socially also. He has friends at school, kids he even recognizes when we are out in the community. He has learned a lot. He's a pretty smart kid, even when he pretends to not be! Why are they like that?!?

This is Noah's little friend Lauren. They were attached at the hip. They would always play together, they would walk back into class holding hands, they would make sure they could sit together during circle time. They really enjoyed being friends with each other. Doesn't hurt that she is absolutely adorable and LOVES dinosaurs also!

I had to put this picture in....there is always one child that has to be standing in the front row, doing something that any parent would just die over....today, it is this little boy! It was too funny!

He attends a Christian Community Church so the program was a lot of singing and scripture was recited. It was just too cute. Now the video can be a little long, but we know that Noah's grandparents love watching these. So if they are a little too boring for you, just skip it!

I would hear Noah singing softly to himself sometimes, obviously practicing for his big day. If I ever asked him about it he would tell me, "it's a secret, I cannot tell you!" He was taking this serious!

After they performed their class song, they sat on the stage and all of the preschool classes sang two more songs. Noah was really just looking around and not participating much. I didn't video that portion, because he was not visible at all. He said he had a really fun time. They are so funny at this age.

This is Miss Desiree, or Miss Desi as the kids called her. Noah took about 2 months to warm up to her, he would not say one word to her. I told her it would take a while for him to warm up. He loves her now. He talks about her all the time, brings things to school to show her. You would have never guessed that 5 months ago he wouldn't even look at her.

Miss Desi has a wonderful helper in her classroom...her name is Miss Joy. Now, this was another story. Noah loved Miss Joy right from the start. She was always so nice and kind to him. I was a little sad because I never got to take a picture of the two of them. Luckily, Noah's Dad forgot to pick up his jacket after the program today. Miss Desi called me and told me it was in the office. I figured today was as good a day as any to pick it up, so we drove down to school. Guess who was walking to her car when we got out of the office???? MISS JOY!!! Noah ran to her and gave her a hug. So I was able to get a picture after all.

We made Miss Desi & Miss Joy clipboards with their names on them. Noah told me their favorite colors and I picked Miss Joy's paper and Noah picked Miss Desi's paper. They turned out pretty cute. Miss Joy told me today that she almost bought one the other day because she needs one. Perfect gift.
