"They grow up so fast! Reese Witherspoon celebrated a big milestone with her son Deacon this weekend &amp;#x2014; his elementary school graduation!The Draper James founder, 40, shared an Instagram photo from the special occasion on Saturday, June 11. In the pic, 12-year-old Deacon &amp;#x2014; in a beige blazer, light blue shirt and checkered bow tie &amp;#x2014; beams alongside his mom, who wraps her arm affectionately around his shoulder.Witherspoon looks radiant in a pink floral dress, which she teamed with simple drop earrings and a huge smile. &amp;quot;Off to Jr High!&amp;quot; she captioned the sweet snapshot. &amp;quot;Yay, Deacon! #proudmom&amp;quot;The Academy Award winner shares Deacon with her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. The pair also have a daughter, Ava, 16, and Witherspoon has a 3-year-old son, Tennessee, with current husband Jim Toth.&amp;quot;My kids are wonderful,&amp;quot; she told the Today show&amp;apos;s Jenna Hager late last year. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;ve been so supportive of what I do as a filmmaker, what I&amp;apos;ve been doing as an entrepreneur.&amp;quot;Like other kids their age, though, they sometimes find their mom a little embarrassing. (Just like Us!) &amp;quot;I like to have a dance party in the morning, &amp;apos;cause I drink coffee and then I have lots of energy,&amp;quot; Witherspoon told Hager. &amp;quot;And it&amp;apos;s mortifying to my children.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
