Milestones

This post is long overdue. Just wanted to share a few milestones in Jonah's life. Here he is on his way to his first field trip at the Portland Zoo. This is how Jonah demonstrates a look of "I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself." Seriously.

Here he is before he walked out the door to his Kindergarten "Graduation". He was so mad at me that I made him wear that shirt. He couldn't believe I made him dress up. Um, what? But I don't care. He looks so handsome, it was worth the abuse.

This is during his class performance. Once again, he is towering above his fellow students. But also, isn't he the cutest? Even if he's dressed like a server from T.G.I.Fridays? That piece of red flair on the upper left corner of his chest is kind of like the honor roll of Kindergarten. He had to learn 100 words to get it. And there were only four of them (and he was the only boy). I'm just pointing that out as an interesting fact. Not to brag. And the boy on the far left is Reece. His best friend and boy he still doesn't understand why he can't marry. I mean, he likes snakes! That's his only criteria for marriage, and so far no girl has demonstrated this super important characteristic.

And here he is singing "You're a Grand Old Flag." I think they were singing that song in the Egyptian times. But his teacher is a little old school. They also sang God Bless America almost every morning. I think you can get arrested for that, right? Watch for some awesome sign language and some understated hip-swinging.
