Kindergarten Graduation Party

We made it! In September 2023, we started our homeschooling journey knowing it would come with some unique challenges and sweet perks. His favorite subjects are reading and writing, and it has been a blessing to see how he loves to share those things with others. On the days when motivation ran short, Darius and I would brainstorm ways to celebrate when he finished Kindergarten, and he landed on a “jump party”—going to the trampoline park. He finished the school year very strong in June, and definitely earned his jump party!

The first few weeks of summer were sprinkled with sickness and traveling, so we hadn’t gotten around to his celebration yet, but the opportunity arose when my best friend (“Auntie Carley” to the boys) was in town and Darius thought it would be extra special if she could join, since she lives abroad the rest of the year. A great time was had by all, and we worked up an appetite for ice cream afterward. Great job, Darius! We are endlessly proud of you!

We also discussed the above on episode 35 of Adventures with BAM.
