Kinder Grad

Rex has officially graduated from Kindergarten! His school conducted a graduation ceremony for the kindergarteners on May 29th (eventhough he really had one more week of school to go). The ceremony was very cute. The children sang a few songs, and then each child received a certificate from their teacher. It was nice that Grandma, Grandpa, Mara, Tim and I were all able to attend. Rex's last day of school was this past Thursday. I was afraid that Rex might miss his last week when he became sick on Sunday night with a high fever. He ran a temperature for a few days with no other symptoms. We went to the doctor on Monday, and she also saw nothing wrong with him besides the temp. She said it was most likely viral, and would just have to run it's course. I was so sad that he was missing out on his last few days with his friends and his wonderful teacher. Thankfully, he was back to normal by Wednesday, so he was able to be there for the last two days. The class had a pizza party celebration on Thursday to mark the end of the year.

Where has the time gone? I really can't believe that Rex is old enough for Kindergarten, much less for first grade! I'm a little sad that this school year is over, but I am also excited for all the fun and enjoyment we are going to squeeze out of this summer!
