Today was Benjamin's very special day at school. He was very excited about his Kindergarten Graduation!! He has been telling me about this event for 2 weeks now. He's been practicing his songs and prayers. Yesterday he even made sure that I knew the words to the Pledge of Allegiance, The Pledge to the Bible, and the Pledge to the Christian Flag. He was rather impressed that this old mom of his knew those.
Well, here are the pictures from his big day! He was so proud of himself he could hardly stand it.
Entering the sanctuary to "Pomp and Circumstance."
The Lord's Prayer. He really got into it!
The graduating class.
Mr. Benjamin!
He loved his tassel. He couldn't keep his hands off of it. Good thing that the got to keep it.After the graduation ceremony all of the children and their friends and families got to go and have cake and punch. The kids chattered and were very excited. We all looked over the scrapbooks that Mrs. Young spent unbelievable amounts of time on. She made individual ones for each child. They're very special! They were also given bibles for their age.
Benjamin and his "Texas Grammy," Evelyn.
Benjamin and his favorite classmate, Valerie. He said that he is pretty sure he loves her. "She is so nice and has very pretty hairs," he declared.

My little guy wore a tie! It wasn't too close to his neck, so no gagging, etc.
Benjamin and Grammy cutting up!
Benjamin and his AMAZING teacher, Mrs. Young.
They really do grow up so fast. I love you, little Benjamin!

In the picture of Benjamin and Valerie, they look like twins! I'm sure they don't in person, but they do in that picture! Too funny.
He's a very handsome graduate. :-)
I can see how that is possible.
Thank you for your compliment. I think he is handsome too, but you know how we moms are. 8-)
