The Elkinton Four

Okay... you all can relate... you are totally composed and then your kindergartner starts singing a song about ... well it really doesn't matter because he is about to get his Kindergarten Diploma and you just fall apart because you cannot believe that your little guy is going to be a first grader!!!  Well.... that was me today.... Blubbering Mommy and so very proud!!!  Mommy and Daddy were present at Charlie's Kindergarten Promotion.  It was not a huge deal like at some schools, just moms and dads and some sweaty kinders who just came in from recess after lunch!!!  Charlie had the best Kindergarten teacher known to mankind!  Mrs. Evette Contreras was truly put on this Earth to teach Kindergarten and my son was blessed to have had her to start his educational career!  Take a look at the ceremony!
