The Graduate

 Jackson's preschool teacher is having a baby, so she ended preschool a little early this year.  Jackson was so excited to graduate.  Too bad that when we move to Illinois he missed the kindergarten cut off by 6 days, so really he isn't officially a preschool graduate.  Justin had to be at school/work so he said, "I will catch the next preschool graduation."

Jackson and his classmates from left to right, Dani (whom I believe she had a major crush on him), Avary, Duncan, Josiah, and Hadley.

Poor Jonah doesn't really have his own friends yet, so he really thinks that Jackson's friends are his bff's.  He tags a long with the big kid and thinks he fits in pretty well.  He took Dani's hat because she wouldn't wear it and stood in line with them as the teacher was handing out the diplomas.
 Hey, Where's mine??  He waited so patiently and was quite confused why she didn't hand one over to him.
 This was after I took him away from the line and made him sit by me.  He went over to the staircase and started pouting.  Too bad he is cute even when he is being a stinker!! ;)
 The PROUD graduate after receiving his certificate of completion.
 This is his teacher Miss Jerianne.  Isn't she adorable?  Jackson just loved her and she did such a great job with the kids.  He always had fun at school learning and playing.
 Hadley and Jackson are such good buds!  (for those IF peeps, this is Micaela Mendoza's little girl).  They have such a great time playing together.
We love Jackson.  He is so smart!! :)

What happened?? Not too long ago I went to your preschool graduation! Those two little boys are growing up way too fast, I can't wait to see them in July. Congrats to Jackson ... he gets his diploma before his dad!! (((hugs))) from grams.

When Jackson grows up and has a stigma about having to take preschool twice (failing) He can come talk to his uncle Bryce. I know exactly how that feels.

He is looking so big, I can hardly believe it.

Just a note. I don't remember telling Bryce he failed. He just got to have preschool twice because his Aunt was the teacher!!! I love the picture of him in his cap. How cute. And Jonah has grown even since I was there in Feb. Wow! Can't wait to see you all again in May for his daddy's graduation.
