Ezra’s Last Day of First Grade

Thursday was Ezra’s last day of first grade and there was a potluck and celebration at school. First, the potluck.

The kids had to walk by the dessert table to get to the regular food. Ezra was in awe.

Woh, look at all the desserts

After he grabbed a few desserts, he did make his way over to the fruit and sandwiches.

And finally sat down to eat with his friend, Ben.

Lunch!

After lunch the kids went to recess and the adults cleaned up. At the end of recess the kids assembled on the rug to receive certificates and leis from Ms. Thea. All was going so well …

When it was Ezra’s turn, instead of walking up to Ms. Thea, he crawled up.

She asked him to stand, which he did. But then he crawled back to his place on the rug.

And then he hid under the table.

When it came time for a class photo, he hid in the back.

Where's Ezra?

After a while he came out and jumped around. We got lucky in that toward the end all the kids got crazy and Ms. Thea told them to shout “Second Grade!” So, finally all the crazy matched Ezra’s crazy.
