Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe that my little boy is old enough to be starting first grade next year! His school had Kindergarten graduation today and he was so excited that he got up before 6 a.m. He has been climbing the walls ever since!
They did several song performances and then each child, all 80 of them, got their "diploma". Caitlin only had one potty trip and lasted through about 40 of them before Na Na took her outside to play. I think that's pretty good for a 3 year old.
Still, I can't believe Conall is here. I mean, my baby can read, write and spell now (no more spelling things out so that he doesn't know what we're talking about)! Not to mention all of the other things he's mastered, some much easier to accomplish than others.
Lately, I've just been happy to see him get into a wading pool or sprinkler barefoot -- no socks or water shoes! That is a major thing for him. The small things like that seem so big and you feel every moment of them and then, bam, they are graduating from Kindergarten. Wow! The past six years really have gone by fast.
