joshua graduates from elementary school!

there was (of course!) a ceremony. {there was a ceremony for EVERY grade at our elementary school this past week...} it's a little much, if you ask me. but the 5th grade one was a big deal.

the 1st grade sung to the 5th graders. {so sawyer was up there} it was pretty cute.

they had 2 carnations under each 5th graders seat. they were instructed to go give their 2 flowers to anyone in the room. joshua gave me one :-)

he's done so well in elementary school. and i'm excited to see what middle school brings for him. it's a huge adjustment. but he is ready.

i chose not to force him to pose in any pictures with his teacher...or principal...or me. i let him just enjoy his day :-) {he HATES pictures.}

i'm super proud of who he is. and am thankful he's my son.
