I love it when the beginning and end of the school year rolls around, because that means that my news feeds are usually flooded with all of my friends’ kiddos either starting up or finishing their school year, looking totally adorable. One of my favorites is always the side-by-side of the first day and last day, since I think it’s so fun to see how much kids can change in just a short amount of time.
I knew that my Lucas had grown up quite a bit this past school year, but I was absolutely shocked to see just how MUCH he changed between now and last September…
I still can’t get over it. He was such a baaaaaaby when he started! And now he’s basically off to college.
Hold me.
So yes, he’s getting way too big on me, but he had an adorable little moving up ceremony at his preschool yesterday morning.
I’m pretty sure that picture above is when Lucas noticed that my mother-in-law and my parents were all able to make it to see him “graduate.” It was so cute…all of the kids were sitting quietly and then you hear Lucas yelling “Hi Nan Nan! Hiiii PAPA!!!”
We got to hear all about a typical day at preschool, complete with all of the songs they usually sing, and then they all went back to grab their hats so they could get their certificates.
I totally told myself I wasn’t going to cry, but who was I kidding. Especially when his teacher started playing “That’s What Friends Are For”…
What can I say? I’m a total sap and I 100% get it from my mom. ; )
Congratulations to the class of 2016-2017! Next year, we’ll be off to the 4 year old class!
We’re just so proud of this little (big) guy. Sure, he drives us absolutely bananas sometimes, but man…he is smart (too smart for his own good sometimes), he is funny, and he has a personality that can light up a room.
Congratulations, my sweet Lucas! You have big things coming for you some day. I just know it <3
Congratulations to Lucas! Such a great accomplishment and a beautiful day to celebrate!
So cute!! He really has grown up so much!
Oh my GOSH! These pictures are too cute! His transformation from the first to last day of school is unbelievable. What a sweet family you have :)
I can’t believe how big he is getting! My little one is only 9 months and I already emotional about him turning a year!!
Lucas really did grow a lot this year!!! Time flies so fast. My middle child is graduating 8th grade tomorrow and headed off to high school. Yikes!! It’s all good stuff though.
Awwww!!!!! Congratulations to Lucas!! He really did grow up a lot this year, I can’t believe how big he is getting! So sweet :)
Aw Congratulation little man. I can totally sympathize with you Courtney. My son will also be graduating Preschool and will be off to JK in Septemeber. We’re Canadian and four year old start JK this early and the class rooms will be slightly bigger. Just thinking of all the change to my little babe makes me want to cry =0( They sure are growing way too fast!
All the best!!
Oh my goodness, he looks so grown up now!! haha so cute! My daughter is 2 and is starting preschool next year, I can’t wait…although I’m sure I’ll be crying more than her on the first day!
He is getting so big and looks just like his daddy! =)
Awww so cute! I’d cry my eyes out too! I went to a high school gradulation 2 wks ago for my cousin and we cheered so loud that we got embarrassd and confuzes looks from the him we was cheering for. Turns out we went to the wrong high school and cheered for some random boy with the same name. At least he got the most churrs!
He grew up so much!!
Aww congrats Lucas!! And they played That’s What Friends are For <3<3 love that song :)
Haha, good memories with that song! ;)
Haha, yes you do get your emotions from your Mom…..I had a couple of tears too
Haha, of course :) <3
Holy growth spurt! I think you mentioning he is sometimes a feisty guy and that has to be why. Two summers ago my son was a monster for three weeks and then had literally grown out of all his clothes. Poor guys it has to hurt to grow so fast. <3
Really! That’s interesting…although his “feistiness” has been going on for almost a year now lol ;)
Congratulations, Lucas! :) He is going to love looking back on these memories someday. I still have pictures from my own preschool graduation so many years ago and smile when I see them!
Congrats to Lucas, mom and dad. Lucas is getting so big and more handsome! Love reading and seeing all the pics.
