I wasn't sure what to expect from Griffin, since he was so reserved at his Christmas program (ran out of time around the holidays and never posted it). He just stood on the stage, staring at my in the pew with these huge puppy dog eyes. It was pitiful. This time, though, he sang, he danced, he loved it. Just like my boys to feel settled in and comfortable just as the year is wrapping up. Griffin really loved his class this year. He never begged or pleaded to go to school (and on several occasions he cried and had to be carried in to school by a teacher) but he did talk about his friends when he was home and he loved his teachers (miss sallie and miss patti - and he pretty much used their names interchangeably when addressing them). We'll miss this class next year. Think I've mentioned before that the 3 year olds get funneled into two classes - so next year he'll be in class with his good friend, Sarah Scott, and a bunch of new faces. He'll miss his old buds (isaiah, kate, aston, mia), but I'm sure he'll make new friends to be silly with.

Here is a little video of some of the songs Griffin's class sang. No hard feelings if anyone falls asleep during this/just can't watch more than 10 seconds of it. :)

Noah ended his year on an upswing too. He really liked his classmates (the teachers were always telling me how much Noah liked the girls and vice-versa) and he LOVED his two favorite friends David and Davis. David and Davis were in the room across the hall, but the classes combined for lots of activities throughout the day and had recess together. Davis and Noah are so similar and they really had a blast together. Noah will really miss him next year when moves on the kindergarten and Noah stays put for TK (transitional kindergarten). Thankfully Davis will be in TK too (as will Noah's favorite girl at school, Anna Grace - just a tidbit, Anna Grace invited a bunch of girls AND Noah to a birthday barbie sleep-over party at her house this weekend. haha. Noah's going to pass on the sleepover part, but it should be quite a hoot for our guy, Ken, I mean Noah :).

Noah's class did the exact same program as Griffin's class. He sang - but I could barely see him. There were so many kids and he was in the second/third row (in a yellow golf shirt) and the parents in front of me kept standing up to video their kids (can't blame them, really - but note to self to get there super early next year). I'm including a 30 second clip in which you can kind of see Noah. You can also hear a little conversation b/c me and Griffin. :)

Overall, it was a great year! We are excited about it being summer -- but know that it will be nice to be back there next year.

Hey, Brooke!
You might not remember me, but my daughter, Zoe, was in gymnastics with Griffin last year, and we're in a playgroup with Aston, Mia, and Kate. I received the roster for Sharon Pres next year, and noticed that Griffin and Zoe were in the same class on Mondays. Can't wait to move back to Charlotte and get re-acquainted!!
So sad i missed the end of year program...enjoyed watching your video...it is much better than anne's:) Griffin was SOOOO into it...gonna show aston when he wakes up
Have to tell you- Anna Grace inviting Noah over for her barbie sleepover made me laugh out loud. I had to read this one to Hunter :) Too funny.
