Poetry Reading

Boston's kindergarten class had a poetry reading this morning. They each read poems that they wrote. I was highly impressed by all of them (some more than others - hee hee) and it was so cute to see them up on the stage and talking in to the microphone. They all had them memorized. Impressive! They had doughnuts and juice afterwords and a slide show of photos of the kids throughout the school year. I was the mom who was crying and trying so hard not to. There was a photo in the slide show of Boston on the first day of kindergarten and he looks so young. I can't believe how much has changed in a school year. Here's Boston's poem:

HORTON
by Boston Underwood

Blue Hair
Black Eyelashes
Long Trunk
Big Eyes
I Know A Lot
Of Horton Books
That Are By
Dr. Seuss
I Love Horton

How cute! The same for Hadley on the growing up part. I just got her Spring kindergarten portraits back, and in comparison to the beginning of the year she is a completely different girl.

Wish I could have been there to hear Boston recite his poem. I am impressed.
