Gavin's Kindergarden Graduation...

Oh, the pride a mama feels on these momentous occasions!  Given the emotion I felt on that day, I can only imagine how I'll feel during future graduations.  Gavin looked PRECIOUS during his Kindergarten graduation--so handsome and dignified in his pin-striped shirt and khakis.  And just look how proud he was of himself!

He received his diploma ;) from his wonderful Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Ryan.  It was so cute to watch each student walk across the stage to receive their diploma when their names were called.  (Evidently, this was something that the class practiced quite a bit beforehand.)

Oh, and I forgot about the belt!  I can't remember another single time in Gavin's history when he wore a belt.  Now that I'm writing this, I'm remembering that the whole thing--nice button-down shirt tucked in with a belt on--was pretty foreign to him, and he kept tugging at his pants or his shirt during the graduation. 

I think that Gavin's Kindergarten graduation had even more meaning for him because Daddy's Master's graduation had taken place only a few weeks earlier.  He kept telling me that he was getting to wear a "real" graduation cap, too.  It was fun to watch them share in these accomplishments together.
