First grade is officially "in the books". The duo's school has been working a year-end taper since last week... Kindergarten graduation was last Thursday... Fifth grade celebration was Tuesday... finally (to lure everyone back), class parties were held Wednesday morning.
Tuesday after school, we sat down for a pow-wow. Three decisions were to be made. First, the duo needed to decide whether or not they wanted to check out after their class party on Wednesday. Second, they needed to decide whether or not they wanted to attend Thursday. Finally, if so, they needed to decide whether or not to stay all day. They were in it to win it, confirming they wanted to attend all day every day. We did a "GO TEAM LINDSEY!" and broke out of our huddle.
Except once the party was winding down and they heard their friends' names being called out over the intercom for check-out, they wavered a little. Grace mentioned that she wanted to leave if Lauren was leaving, and Lauren felt the same way. After shuffling back and forth between their classrooms, we had a consensus. They were heading home with Grammie who had attended the party (more on the party later).
William George's school's last day was officially today as well. I knew there was trouble when I heard him shouting, "I do NOT want to go!!!!" We talked him into it because we believe in closure around here and wanted him to say good-bye to his teacher who has been wonderful this year.
So the trio lined up for the obligatory last-day-of-school pose.
As for William George, we missed a great deal due to his being out for strep last week. They moved the last day up from today (as scheduled) to Tuesday. He was pleased as punch that his wish not to go was being granted from above. We picked up his things, and he accompanied me to Target... just like old times.
PS: First day of school, 2013. Also, last day of school, 2013 (Kindergarten).
