Deg graduates preschool

I know that posts without pictures aren't nearly as exciting as ones with, but if i wait for a picture, it won't get done. Deg graduates preschool this Thursday. It is hard to believe the difference in his ability to communicate back in September on our drives to and from compared to now.

He has made some good friends while in preschool. He went from being the little boy that most of the girls were a bit unsure of to the one they all want hugs from before leaving. The boys are his good buddies as well.

His teachers put together an end-of-the-year book for all of the kids. It was to show the progress made during the year. What was remarkable is that he has grown 3.5 inches and gained 7 pounds in 9 months. Amazing, isn't it? I think that he will be passing his siblings in height much sooner than any of them would want. He gulps down milk and then flexes his arms to show me his muscles (and they are really there). We've convinced him that milk makes them grow. He has gone from not liking it to saying "i love milk momma".

He'll be charming his Kindergarten teachers this fall. Will definitely be posting him getting on the yellow school bus. A big milestone in all of our lives. I'll be the one in the background dancing my way home ... at least the first day. I'm sure I'll miss having a buddy at home as the year goes on.

Loved having a chance for some of us to get together in DC. It was like having family visit :)
