Ry's 1st loose tooth!

Ry lost his very 1st tooth in May, almost 1 month after his 6th birthday and 1 week before graduating from Kinder.  The boy was super excited to see what the tooth fairy would bring him.  Lo and behold the next morning he woke up to a $2 prize!  Ry was thrilled, and now he's got a 2nd loose bottom tooth!

Ry's Kinder Graduation

And just like that we have a 1st grader on our hands!  Ryland graduated from Kinder today (5/30/2017) with a huge smile and he earned the 'best friend' award.  The ceremony took about 45 mins to get through all 6 classes and they concluded by singing their class song "The Kindergarten Class" (to the theme of the Addams family) and the school song "Rowe Lane Rockets".  Afterwards they celebrated with a pizza party in their classrooms.  The school year flew by and just like that it's summer! :D

Quick yearly followup:  At his 6 yr checkup (in April) he measured 46 inches tall, weighed 48 lbs and is just above average (height/weight) for his age group.  Happy and healthy and ready to take on the world!

We are so proud of you Ryland!

Happy graduate!
