Devin's busy week

Devin had a lot going on last week.  On Wednesday he "graduated" from preschool.  We had a nice low key party at our friends park to celebrate and play with his classmates.  Even though this group was the biggest I've taught they were by far my favorite to teach.  They got along so well and followed directions really well too.  We had a great time and I was able to finally use my incredibly useful cupcake carrier I got for Christmas (I was so excited to finally use it, yes I'm lame).  

Here he is in his cute little hat.

And getting his "diploma".

And the whole class and then some extra siblings thrown in too.

The boys could have played all day, but I needed to clean up the kitchen that looked liked it had thrown up cupcake batter and frosting.

Graham even got to play with a buddy.  I actually feel like Devin is ready for kindergarten.  At least academically, emotionally may be another matter but we'll see I'm sure he'll surprise me.  He's been doing a really great job on his reading lessons and its interesting to see how differently he and Caroline learn.  
 In other exciting news Devin also got his cast off this week!  He was so brave and didn't even want to sit by me when they took his pins out.  It made me a little sad.  He's a tough kid, he most definitely whined less about his cast than I did.  Hopefully in about a month he'll have full mobility back.  That is as long as he doesn't do other dumb things like lay with his feet straight up in the air under a trampoline while other kids are jumping on it.  Sometimes I just don't understand him.   Anyways he's a sweetie and we love him regardless of the less than intelligent things he does that get him hurt.
He is such a cute kid. 

That little red dot is where his pins were.  Its healing up quite nicely.  Here's to a cast free house!
