Carter graduates from preschool

We have a preschool graduate!! My baby graduated from preschool today. It was pretty cool. He has been going to a preschool at Spalding Elementary where his older brother and sister both went to elementary school. It's been a really good program for him and definitely helped him with his speech delay. We've had some really great teachers. Miss Rainee, who missed the graduation today because she had a baby yesterday. Miss Amie, who is from the YMCA, Mr. Gene and Miss Wendy. We've been at the school for almost three years, so we've gotten pretty close to all of them and the kids in the class. The kids are all heading to different schools, and even if they go to Spalding with Carter, they won't be on the same track as he is (Spalding is year round). So here are some pictures to commemorate the big day.

 He insisted on a mohawk. It's been a common hairstyle for him the last few weeks. Thankfully it falls down pretty quick!

 

 

 

Spencer P. and his mom Jenae. We've been good friends since the boys started school about the same time and have been in the same class for all three years.

This is Amanda. She's in our ward. Just had to add this because she checks the blog (her links on the side). Her daughter Becca has been in Carter's class before. Sorry Amanda, I'm putting it on, you can get me later.

 

 

Playing catch with his friend Ryan before we got started.

 

 

 

Carter getting his award and little diploma from Miss Wendy.

I had to show both pictures. He was pouting in the first one because he wanted to go play at the playground after he got his diploma, but we made him take pictures and wait til everyone was done. The second one is his forced smile. He gets it from his Grandpa Pete and his dad. We call it their military smile.

Chris' mom Polly was able to come.

Chris was able to make it from work for a couple of hours and I got to steal the camera so I wasn't in any shots. Yeah.

Here is the group of boys that Carter hangs out with. Going around the spinny thing starting with the boy in the black. Zach, Kevin, Ryan, Jason G., Jordan and Carter. About the only ones missing are Gavin and Jason R.

Carter and Mr. Gene. He's a cool guy. Goes out with the boys and plays soccer and football. It kind of takes you aback when you realize that there is a man in the preschool, but he's been so awesome with the boys. Definitely going to miss Mr. Gene.

Carter with Miss Wendy. She's been a constant with Carter at the preschool. We are excited because her mares have had two babies in the last week and we are going to get to go to her ranch in Melba and check out them and her husband's plane. Yeah!!
