Seth's Kindergarten Program

Seth had his end-of-the-year kindergarten program today at 10 am. The kids had songs and poems for us (some interactive). Seth had a part in two poems--my favorite was about his brother. He and a couple of other little boys reciting a poem about this mess that was made, which surely must have been caused by their respective brothers! At the end, they all held up pictures of their brothers! Seth's favorite song was the "Cha-cha Slide", which he informed me was the same song from the McDonald's commercial where the little boy comes to dinner with a jambox and does a dance in his seat. I noticed Seth wasn't always so interested in getting the moves and words of the songs right as occasionally embellishing his performance with a face or comment at the end. What else did you expect?

At the end, the kids sang a song about the children of the world and gave roses to each of their moms. I teared up, of course. Then, each child very politely asked his or her mom if she wanted a cookie and served them cookies and lemonade. It was sweet and very well done. I told Seth's teacher how happy I was that he had her and how well he did. She agreed. Seth really did have an outstanding year--we are so proud of him!

Seth has one more day tomorrow and he is a first-grader! Zac has to go a half-day on Thursday, and he will be Mr. Third Grade.
