Nick's last day of school was last Thursday and they had a huge field day with games, bouncy houses, rock walls, a fire truck, and a BBQ picnic. Aidan and I went to watch and hang out and Aidan had as much fun as his brother. They had hamburgers, salad, chips, and juice for lunch and ice cream sundaes for dessert. It was a beautiful day to be outside too. As we were leaving the parking lot Nick was jumping up and down and saying "I'm a first grader now." Nick really enjoyed Kindergarten and has come so far in a year. He can read now and write pretty well. He has amazing math skills already and really enjoys being at school. His report card said he mastered all the skills except tying shoes which he never wears tie shoes so I guess that is our fault. It said in the comment area that Nick still struggles with being too social but that he was a total joy to have in the classroom. Sounds just like Nick for sure. Nick is excited but nervous about the new school year in Alabama. We still aren't sure where we are going to send him. Hopefully, we will get to tour a few schools when we arrive and that will help cement our decision. La Purisima was a great fit for us this year. It was a small classroom only 14 kids in Nick's class but the school had such a family atmosphere that my kid knew everyone in all the grades by name. And mostly, I loved that he learned about God everyday and they just really displayed Christian values in everything they did. Some lessons you just can't put a price tag on.
