Weston looked forward to kindergarten graduation before he ever stepped foot in the classroom.  He couldn't wait to earn a medal for memorizing 26 Bible verses--one for each letter of the alphabet.  He took responsibility in memorizing all the verses and saying them on time throughout the year.  I think Weston thought that graduating kindergarten meant that he became an adult.  He thought he was so big!  The graduation ceremony and luncheon were both really nice.  Will, me, Connor, James, Mimi, Grandy, Nana, & Granddaddy all came to celebrate with our little graduate.  We couldn't have asked for a better year.  Weston learned to read.  He also learned to write using his "smarty spelling".  He writes and draws pictures almost every day at the kitchen table or our new desk.

Mimi and I attended Connor's Mother's Day Tea in May.  They served monkey bread and tea.  My little monkey Connor LOVED the monkey bread.  His teacher, Mrs. Becky Baxter, read I'll Love You Forever to us.  It is a special book in our family.  At bedtime, Connor used to ask me to rock him and sing I'll Love You Forever.  He is just like the little boy mentioned in the story who flushes his mommy's watch down the toilet.  Connor has flushed toothbrushes, airplanes, cars, and a harmonica down the toilet at our house, but I'll love my Connor-bug forever, no matter what!

Answering questions from the class

Weston and Will had to come up with a science project to share with Weston's class for science week.  They chose the Laws of Aerodynamics and Bernoulli's Principle.  Weston explained how the forces of thrust and drag act on a plane.  They made paper airplanes with different modifications to demonstrate thrust and drag.  Then Will brought out the gear for everyone to see.  Weston and Will both did a great job!  Connor, James, and I all came to show support.
