Then & Now- Graduation Pics
« on: May 23, 2007, 08:10:03 PM »
A few of you old-timers may remember when I had baby Matthew in '02. This was the pic I posted-



Well here we are, 5 years later, and my baby is a Preschool Graduate.  o(:-)

Here are the pics from this evening. I loved this school, loved the teachers, loved the curriculum (...HATED the tuition   ;) ) Next year, it's on to Kindergarten!

Receiving the "diploma"


Mr. Graduate...Sit Still!


Shirt tails out, hamming it up



Time sure does fly. Seems like only yesterday that I was nursing him, looking out the window, and helplessly watching the Heron take off with all my fish. Now I have a 5 year old Kindergartener/Heron-Chaser!  @O@

He is just adorable and  looks so proud. o(:-)

Hard for me to believe that my "baby" just turned 24 and is ending his second year of teaching school.

They just grow up to darned fast.

And I remember when he was born, and a couple of years later you said you got all your exercise from chasing him around all day during the "terrible two's."     ;)

As I said, it's hard to believe that he's now 5.  MDBB is now 8 and I find that really hard to believe.  ;D

Sandye, I am still chasing him around- it's fabulous exercise! Not as much as it used to be- we can get a lot more accomplished now.  @O@
If you don't mind me asking, what is MDBB? Is it My Dear Baby Brother (couldn't be?) Or, My Dear Brother's Baby...?  The acromyms grow at a rate I am unable to absorb.  ;) :thinking: :thinking:

He is a great little helper- brings me the newspaper, hauls stuff around in his little wheelbarrow, brings sticks to the fire pit (there's a marshmallow payoff for that one!  ;)) AND- kills any bug that I command!  ;D He's not allowed to kill butterflies or dragonflies or salamanders... etc.  ;)
