It seems like only yesterday that I was sniffling about my Joshy heading off to Kindergarten, and now he’s off for his last day of K! I was going through his backpack to get a few things together for him and noticed that his teachers sent home a beautiful personalized folder wrapped in ribbon. They took so much care in gathering Joshy’s precious work, printing, artwork and more throughout the year and lovingly held back on sending some things home so that he would have a great memory folder for his last day. Inside they had taken pictures of Joshy throughout the year, with many different hair styles doing all the things he loved in Kindergarten. And they also interviewed each of the children in his class. Here is his interview:

My Favorite part of our school day is: when we go outside to play
My best friends are: Zoe, Nathan and Carson
My favorite song is: Elephants have wrinkles (it’s hilarious, ask him to sing it for you)
My favorite trip was: When we went to Let’s Play
My favorite color is: Green
My favorite animal is: Elephants
If I had $100 I would buy : A game for Me
When I grow up I want to be : an explorer

I am so proud of my big grown up Joshua. As a Mommy I’ve noticed him develop in many ways this year, he’s expressive, thoughtful, sensitive, and kind hearted. Joshua loves to have things a certain way, prefers to be called Joshua by everyone and has boundless energy. He loves to tell you facts about things he knows, sings “I can’t believe I can FLY” loudly while he’s riding his bike, he doesn’t like to wear socks very much, and tells Nathan and I daily how much he loves us. Joshua is learning how to sit still and pay attention, it’s sometimes a struggle but he’s getting much better at it. He is a very good printer, and loves to color hearts on a page for me. I give Joshua an A+ for all his growth this year and I can’t wait to see him as an awesome first grader.
