As always, May was the end of another school year and brought with it all the end of year festivities for school and the kids extracurricular activities.
First up was Brynn's preschool graduation. Brynn was beaming as she proudly stood with her class and sang all of her favorite songs from preschool for us. She has absolutely loved every single second of every single day in Mrs. Young's preschool for the last two years. As Mrs. Young calls the children up to give them their diploma she announces what they want to be when they grow up. No surprise that Brynn wants to be a Grandma. I can't believe we aren't going to have a preschooler next year, and don't even get me started on the fact no more of my children will be going to Mrs. Young or I will turn into a giant puddle. The last four years I have dropped my children off at preschool without a single concern knowing that they were being taught with love and patience. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Young and the role she has played in my children's lives.
Goodbye Preschool!
Next up was Mason's final days as a first grader at Scera Park Elementary. Instead of a dance festival the school did a singing program this year. Mason was very excited for the program and did a great job singing each of the songs. Mason has had some high points and low points during first grade, but thanks to his amazing teacher Mrs. Nelson helping and believing in him he enjoyed first grade a lot.
School isn't the only thing that came to an end. It was also the end of Brynn's year in gymnastics at Patterson's Soft Landing Gymnastics. Brynn would count down the days until Thursday when she got to go to gymnastics and, like most things, would have a huge smile stuck on her face the whole time. She mastered her bridge, cartwheels, and handstands along with some tricks on the bar and beam. We missed her year end performance with our move, so I had her put on a mini show in our backyard. I asked her if she wanted to try dance instead of gymnastics next year and she very adamantly insisted on continuing gymnastics.
Mason played his first year of "real" baseball, meaning he got a real baseball uniform and played on real baseball fields. His team was the Tigers and all of his best friends were on the team with him, making it a lot of fun. This was definitely the most excited and into a sport Mason has ever been. He had a couple doubles, a lot of singles, and of course his fair share of strike outs during the season. He got to try out lots of different positions and was able to make the play to get someone out a couple of times. Sadly we had to move in the middle of the season, but lucky for us Omaha is big on baseball and we already have him signed up for fall baseball with his new best friend out here.
It was a great year for these two and I am proud of both of them!
