My Kinder Boy

So the end of Kindergarten is near and that brings mixed emotions for me.  I am a bit of a cryer and this is the song I am preparing myself to hear on Friday morning at J's ceremony.  I just hear them practicing now and it brings tears to my eyes.  Starting tomorrow and thru next Fri -

waterproof makeup for me!

(to the tune of New York, New York)

Start spreading the news
We're leaving today.
We want to be a part of
First grade, first grade

We've worked very hard
Our teacher's so proud.
So open up those doors to
First grade, first grade.

We know our... alphabet
And numbers too.
We all can write our names
And tie our shoes!

So when summer's done
And we're all done with play
Our mom's will send us to
First grade, first grade.

If we can make it there
We'll make it anywhere
So here we come
First grade, first grade.
