Kinder Grad

Underfoot was promoted to the 1st grade. 

Principal G and Underfoot

 The elementary school held a graduation

 with each child's name being announced 

along with their hoped for future profession. 

 Hurricane thinks his tongue should be out in most pictures.

Underfoot had mentioned his future profession to us 

before it was announced, 

and we smiled and thought great.

Mrs. T, kindergarten teacher, and Underfoot

 Little did we know that

the teacher would say, 

"GJ wants to be a mechanical engineer, 

JL wants to be a mechanical engineer, 

Underfoot wants to be a ninja, 

MM wants to be a chemical engineer." 

Underfoot and Miss T, classroom helper

He explained later that a ninja is like a spy who does only good things.

I walked out of the school thinking, 

"oh boy, a ninja," 

and I turned to a friend and said, 

"He reminded us all that he is 6 

and it's awesome to be 6."
