Tuesday night was graduation for the school where Zack teaches. We were feeling brave and decided to bring Sam, so we dressed him in his most dapper little outfit and off we went! A note on the bow tie: the sweetest girls at Riffraff sent it to Sam as a surprise! How sweet is that?! They are just the most thoughtful company ever. It is literally the cutest thing and I was so excited to have an opportunity to have him wear it! Sam was quite the hit with all of the people at graduation too.
And if you’re wondering how Sam was, he was amazing. No crying, no fussing, he was just chillin’ and perfectly content the entire time. It helps that there were literally only two students who graduated (it’s a small K-8 school) so you know. Short and sweet was the name of the game. But of course the entire school was there and sang a few songs, and of course I cried at like 5 different moments throughout the night, because, hormones? I guess they’re still there? Yeah, I was a mess. Can’t help it. Plus, Pomp and Circumstance gets me every time. ;)
I have to share this too. Sam had his first bath where he wasn’t wailing the entire time. I think he actually kind of enjoyed it? And I found this adorable elephant towel, which I mean, hello. I couldn’t not get it. My little growly bébé éléphant.

p.s. I was so blown away by all of the response to yesterday’s Healthy Habits link up! I’m even more stoked for it now! :) If you missed this week, it’ll be every Thursday, so I hope you’ll link up next week. And for all of you who did link up, thank you so much! It wouldn’t have been such a success if it wasn’t for all of you! It’s not too late to add your link, I’ll be choosing the winners of the Amazon gift card and the ad space soon!
That so good to hear that he behaved as well as he dressed! He looks adorable!

Baths get better! My 14 month old loves them now, and he was a real wailer at the beginning too :)
Oh, thank you for saying that. It’s always good to hear! :)

He looks so grown up! Glad to see you are all doing well.
I know, doesn’t he?! My little man. :)

Adorable! Love the bow tie! I definitely made my son sport those as much as I could in the earlier days before he could rip them off. Which he does now in like, 2.5 seconds. So live it up! Bummed I missed the healthy habits link up but looking forward to joining in next week!
Ha! That’s too funny! And yesss, please link up with me next week! :) I meant to email you- THANK YOU so much for the Starbucks gift card, Giselle! You are the sweetest.

He seriously is the cutest!! Love that elephant towel! I found one kind of like that on Pinterest except its a dragon one. Oh yeah I pinned that, saving it for when my brother has kids ;)
Haha baby’s hooded towels are just too good.

I tear up at graduations too!!! My 4 year old niece graduated pre-k last week and I had to hold myself back from crying as she got her little diploma! Cutest thing in the whole world.
Awww it’s just too precious!! I am going to be a mess when it’s my own little one graduating!!!

What a handsome little fella!!
Why thank you! :)

Absolutely adorable! And I’m waaaay between graduations; it seems like the last one was forever ago!
Great that the baby was so perfect! You look amazing!
I hadn’t been to a graduation in a while myself! Always makes me emotional, though, every time. And thanks! :)

The cuteness is too much to handle! Oh my gosh! So glad he was so well behaved during the graduation.
I know, me too! We were totally prepared for him to lose it, but he didn’t! :)
