Seans Graduated

Sean's officially a graduate from Pre- K. He graduated from Christian Nursery School on Thursday, May 22nd. The kids put on a graduation show for all the parents. They started with a procession all the children walked up the middle aisle to their seats. They sang songs, danced, and Sean's teacher Mrs. Saybolt explained to all of the families what the children have learned during the school year. Sean really enjoyed being on stage and did a great job during the show. After the show Mrs. Saybolt called each child one by one to receive their little diplomas. We celebrated with my Mom and my MomMom we all went to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. The boys ate pizza, played games and went on some rides, they really love it at Chuck E Cheese they get so excited to go there. They have a great time, every time. Paulie loves riding the carousel. We must have put him on 3 or 4 times and he cried when I took him off. He cried and pointed to the ride. He is becoming a little person now. He surely does know what he wants and when he wants it. He's doing more and more to communicate with us. But anyways, Sean had a great graduation day and a nice little after celebration! Sean was very excited to be finished school, every day since February he'd ask me, Mommy is today my last day of school? I really don't want to go to school today. He's even faked sick twice, so I now have to really check and make sure he isn't feeling well, haha he's to smart. We're all very proud of Sean. He is now 100% ready to start kindergarten next year. He'll be attending Our Lady of Calvary Catholic school next year. He has said that he's excited for kindergarten and he is even more excited about getting his uniform. He loves to be dressed nicely. Now in Philadelphia uniforms are worn at every school; catholic, public, and even the charter schools to. I'll admit that I'm a little sad that he'll be starting grade school part time next year. It feels like just last week he started the 3 year olds program at Nursery school. I'll miss having him here at home with me next year. This year he only went to school Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9 to 11:30. His kindergarten schedule is every day from 7:30-1:00. I'm a little nervous about the transition because he isn't used to going to school everyday. But Im sure just like every other kid he'll get used to it. Soccer is also coming to an end as well. He has played 4 games 2 were cancelled due to rain and today was cancelled for memorial day. So this coming Saturday is his very last game. He'll get a picture and a trophy. He has done very well this year also. He has scored at least 2 goals every game. We'll be doing soccer again in the fall and if Colin is a little more matured by the fall he'll be joining his brother. We're trying to get Colin potty trained so he can do the 3 year olds program at the school Sean just graduated from. They really do a wonderful job at Christian Nursery School, the activities planned and the classes that are laid out, I feel are great the kids really did know their stuff when they left school, which is important. So hopefully we can get Colin started so that in 2 years he'll go to kindergarten to. 2 years seems so far away but before we know it Ill be writing to you all about Colin's pre school graduation. Time really does fly.

We're all really looking forward to summer. Summer for us usually means relaxing, vacationing, sleeping in and being outside all day, every day. It will be nice not to have 3 kids out the door by 8:40 am 3 days a week. I know next year will be even earlier and more frequent but I am going to enjoy the summer while it's here. Hope you all have a great summer to!
