I go back and forth - thrilled for him but so sad that this year is over. Next year brings even more changes - such as a full school day. Wow.
Here are some photos I took this morning and then a few from his first day of school back in September. Amazing. Oh - and yes, he is wearing the same shirt. He had me go back into the files to see what he wore on the first day - he was sad he didn't have the same sweatshirt and shoes though. :)
Showing everyone that he is going to be a First Grader!!
Kelton and Mom.
Getting ready to get in the car. Did I mention he gave up on the bus before the end of September? He only rode it when I absolutely could not take him - like when I had appointments. I've enjoyed dropping him off every morning. :)
Waiting outside his classroom door.
With his friend.
Another friend. (I didn't get pictures of everyone but we managed to get several. He is a well liked kid. :))
Chatting up the music teacher. He was definitely a highlight in Kelton's school year.
Kelton with his teacher. What a great year its been!
And now a look back to that very first day:
Eager to go.
Kelton and Mom.
Riding the big yellow school bus.
We have come a long, long way this year. He has done exceedingly well in school and has had a lot of fun. We could not be more proud of him if we tried. Kelton, my son, you have rocked your kindergarten year. Congrats, baby! :)
And for fun - let's do a side by side comparision:

Now:
Is it just me or has he lost a lot of that baby-ness in his face? *sigh*

Oh looking so grown up. Congrats Kelton! Have fun in 1st grade.
He does look a tad older. Poor mom! :)
He has TOTALLY lost his baby face!! What a handsome guy!!
Avery's going to kindergarten next year *cry*
He's looking so grown up!
Yes, I was thinking he'd lost the baby look. Wow, I can't believe he's done kindergarten already.
Casey,
I totally know how you feel, Declan finished kindergarten last week, and 1st grade seems like a place for a big kid, not MY baby:)
Congrats Kelton!
*I see Kaylen has not given up on the ballet outfits yet:) So cute:)
Connor had his last day in kindergarten as well today. It seems like the year just began, where did the time go? Congrats to Kelton for completing his first year of school!
Wow, that little face has gone from baby to boy in these months!! It is just amazing how children grow and mature at the younger ages. Quite a transformation!
Uhhhh, have I told you how handsome he is? :D
He does look a lot older - he looks so handsome! :) Congrats to Kelton on doing such an awesome job in Kindergarten. It will be a big change to have him gone all day next year - but believe me, it doesn't take long to get used to it! ;)Hope to see you soon!
He has grown a lot this year! I even noticed it in the park picture (a few blogs back). He's learned a lot and all that maturity has to end up some place ... nice job helping him get there!
He so looks older. Wow, amazing. How did that happen? It makes me sad to see them grow so fast. But boy is he cute!! Congrats Kelton! Your mom is right you did rock your KG year!
Heidi
He has grown and changed so much! (((sigh)))
Our kids are growing up way too quickly!!!!
oh, he has lost his babyness :( but he is looking really happy and that's all that matters.
Congrats Kelton!
Just watched the today show this morning and this kindergarden class is the class of 2020....OMG 2020 can you believe it????
awww he's getting so big. wow, first grade! big step to be in a "grade" now. :) love the pictures. you can tell he's very proud of himself.
Bittersweet.. definitely bittersweet. I'm going to be a bawling mess when Maddie starts big girl school. I just know it!
I immediately noticed the change in his baby-face (it's gone!). Yay Kelton for finishing Kindergarten! What a HUGE year it will be next for first grade!!
