Preschool Graduation

Here's Ben with his preschool backpack.   This backpack has now been retired.

 There was a graduation party at his school for the students only - Izzie's class prepared a special song.  His class also had photos done at a studio.

He looks like he should be walking across the stage at a university with that gown on!  The books, for all those who are wondering, are Arsenal, Lord of the Rings, another copy of Arsenal, and The Odyssey by Homer. (No, Ben did not choose the books!)  I wonder if they used those books for every student, or if those were the only English ones they had.

First grade is a whole different ball game compared to last year.  Ben is doing really well in his classes and is happy.  He has even started taking piano lessons once a week.  We are very proud of you for learning so much at preschool, Ben, and for adjusting so well to first grade!

Congratulations, Way to go Ben! You are doing such a great job. Keep up the good work. Your Christmas speech was excellent. I wish I could learn Korean like that.
Love you.

Amazing how much older and more mature he appears as a first grader. Of course it may have something to do with the cap and gown.

What a fancy graduation gown! You look very grown up in the hat and gown. You have a lot of family members who are very proud of you and love you a lot!
