Preschool Graduation

Graduations from anything but high school and college (at all levels) are corny and overdone. Any more it's preschool, kindergarten, 8th grade, Sunday school, etc. etc. etc. - all with little caps and gowns and speeches... unnecessary, even silly - until it's your kid.

George's day care held a graduation for the two kids who completed preschool and are going to kindergarten in the fall. They invited Jayden to graduate with them since she is the only kid at her center moving on next year. That made it even more special since Jayden is one of his best friends from the neighborhood, a little girl he has played with his entire life and will be going to school with in the fall.

My little man did great, and it was amazing how much he has grown and matured in the past year (let alone the 5 he has been at Best Hands). He stood up in front of everyone, he wore what he was supposed to (including a shirt with a collar and non-sweat pant shorts) and he spoke out loud.

and he looked darn handsome in his little cap and gown, and I got a glimpse of the young man he'll be at the end of high school... and the adult at the end of college, should he take that path.
