Myles' End of School Festivities

The end of the school year is already buzzing with activities. Here are some highlights from the end of Myles' kindergarten year.

Kindergarten Concert
Before last year's concert, I was a little anxious about how Myles would do, but he was a rock star, so when it came to this year I had no worries. He did great! He stood with his class, sung many of the words, did the actions, and spent a lot of time waving to us in the crowd. It was super cute.

Field Day
Ryker, Sydney, and I went to watch Myles at his Field Day. Thankfully, the weather was perfect despite having the rainiest spring ever. Myles had fun at all the various activities, and of course his brother and Sydney joined in for most of them. Sweet Myles did spend a lot of time running after his brother, worried that he would get away from us (he's a runner nowadays!). Myles talks about his family a lot at school, but several teachers commented on how seeing Myles with his siblings really gave them an idea how much he loves them, and why he talks about them so much.

Myles and his best school friend, Jasper, messing around on Field Day. Myles has many friends at school, but Jasper is one of the few that you can tell really, really doesn't care that Myles is different in some ways. He genuinely enjoys Myles' company. At Jasper's recent karate birthday party, he chose Myles to be his partner and told everyone that Myles was his best buddy. He's so great.

Birthday Celebration
Being that Myles has a summer birthday, we celebrated with his class during the last week of school. He got 7 hugs from Mrs. Collier, the class sang Happy Birthday, he told the class (with my help) about all of his favorite things, each classmate drew him a picture that was put into a birthday book, and Myles handed out a play-doh gift to each of his friends. He felt really special!

I had to include these pictures of Ryker. He was so funny when we were at Myles' school for Field Day and his birthday. Ryker had those kindergarten boys following him everywhere and didn't want me to stay by him at all. Just observing the situation, people would have thought he was one of the kindergarten students! This boy will definitely be ready for elementary school in a few years!
