Kindergarten Graduation

Craig is still one of the youngest students at his kindergarten but his presence was required at the (ahem) graduation ceremony on Saturday morning. The stage was huge compared to the tiny people on it and the auditorium equally big. Craig seemed a bit intimidated by the whole thing.

The kindergarten has three classes: small, medium and large if translated literally from Chinese. Craig is in the small class that contains the youngest children at Uncle Jason's American School.

Their dancing was very cute. For their first number, Craig's class wore their sports uniforms.

But, for their second song, special costumes had been made..... very special.




And, for a third number there was yet another costume.




After the performance Craig posed for a photo with his teacher Amy. She's been teaching at Uncle Jason's for three years but this was her last day of work. She's going back to Canada to pursue further studies. That's a big deal for Craig because he liked Amy quite a lot.

All the way through the performance Craig's eyes were watering, probably because of the stage lights. Craig's Dad thinks he did very well to keep singing and dancing despite his difficulties.

Craig's Mum provided plenty of hugs and attention afterwards as well.
