Kindergarten graduation

Tyson graduated kindergarten!!!

 We have really loved Tyson's school.  It is a charter school and a lot of people were concerned with it being the first year but we have nothing but good things to day about it.

 When we first went to his class he only knew one kid in his class and he was from our old ward and Tyson hadn't seen him since the ward split.  I was nervous that he would never come out of his shell but he made a ton of friends and let his goofy self shine through.

 Each kid had to say what they wanted to be when they grow up and Tyson always tells us things like solider pilot who takes care of rhinos or something like a dinosaur bone finder.  So I was surprised to hear him tell his class and the assembled people that he wanted to be a police officer.

 We have been so blessed to have this wonderful teacher this year.  The other two kindergarten classes had teacher issues and lost their teachers mid year.  Our wonderful teacher Mrs. Moore was constant and dependable.  I remember meeting her for the first time and Tyson was petrified and couldn't even tell her his name.  She clapped him on the back and told him, "You're going to be fine kid".  I love that she didn't baby him and really pushed him out of his shell.

She really got to know each of her kids and respects each of their little personalities.  The two kids in front of us she gave huge hugs but when Ty walked up she gave him a high five and reassured him that she would not hug him. (He is my kid after all)  She sat right next to him and it was her idea to do a crazy picture with tongues sticking out!  We just love her and and are so proud of all Tyson has accomplished this year!!!
