Graduation

Two of THE cutest boys in this whole world graduated from pre school yesterday.    They will enroll for kindergarten come fall.
We have gone to a neighbor 2 blocks up for pre school.  (we started with Syd and now the little boys start in the fall)   She's great.   and inexpensive.    and did I mention how close she was.
My boys learned how to read and write and quite a bit of sign language.   Can't beat that kind of an education.







 I remember walking Syd to the door a number of times during her pre school years.   Her hesitation and anxiety to go in to a class she had been going to all year.   I wasn't completely understanding.
When the boys started going I suddenly realized how great they have it.    There are always 2 of them.   They had someone to walk to the door with.   Enter a room full of kids on a day you might be feeling off.
Whether they are in the same class or not (I'm leaning towards not) they will have someone to walk to the kindergarten/1st/2nd etc. grade line up.   To sit at lunch with if they want to.   To go on field trips with.
There are so many great things that come with having a twin.

After the "ceremony" was over.   There were some refreshments.   Both Ryan and Nathan stood up and grabbed hands.   I watched them as they both wanted to move through the crowd and didn't have the courage to do it alone.    They managed it together and made it to the front where the seats were set up and sat down. I suppose they wanted to know how it felt to be in pre school.

make yourself at home boys
Ms. Angela talking to them about how excited she was to see them next year.
My graduated big boys.  (and no, I didn't dress them in the same color....I helped one pick his and the other picked and dressed himself after)
Are these not the sweetest 2 faces you've ever seen.


In other news, Spencer also graduates from speech next Tuesday.   He's been going since he was 3.   He still has speech issues...but I was told that the sounds that he replaces or misses is age appropriate and that he won't need speech again unless he is still missing them in the 3rd grade.
(sobbing)
they are growing up.
(more sobbing)
I don't want them to.  and yet.  I'm delighted in the bigger and more independent people they are becoming.
When they aren't damaging someone else's property that is.  (a story to come)   for now lets keep it positive and up beat shall we.
sigh.
see...it's not always the littles causing chaos.
