Pre-K Graduation Day!

This morning Z officially graduated Pre-K. I could swear it was just yesterday that we toured this preschool and decided it was the one for us. Just yesterday that he would cry when we dropped him off, run and hug us when we picked him up (thankfully, he still does that). Now, he can read basic books, do simple math. He knows how to sit and listen to his teacher, line up, present to the class, play and work together with other kids. Thanks to his wonderful school, he's really ready for Kindergarten!

I may have gotten a little teary when they marched out to the "Graduation Song," but mostly I just feel really excited for him to start "big school" and everything that goes along with it.

The ceremony was very organized and so sweet. They did several songs, had a slideshow of pictures from throughout the year, then each had a "letter" with a phrase they stood up and recited. Z's was "W for the world of words we've barely dipped into." I would classify him as pretty shy, but he did really well, he held his letter up high and spoke loudly and clearly! We were so proud!

When they announced each of the children they said Future _____, and filled in their answer. Even though there were several Future Dentists in the group, he was "Future Ironman." That got a good laugh from the audience

When they marched out, a pop song was playing. Z had his hands in his pockets and was jamming as he walked. He looked so cool, and we've never been more proud, haha!

These two ladies have been the best and sweetest teachers! Miss Morgan (on the left) has the bubbliest and most fun personality, and Miss Stephanie (on the right) is so sweet and creative, she also happens to be the mom of Lu's school bestie. We've had an awesome year with these two!

So proud of our boy!

Little sis was a perfect audience member and supporter!

And she had to take the spotlight just for a bit.

We ran a couple of errands, then had celebratory lunch at McD's and Edgar's cookies for dessert. (I know, nothing says celebration like McD's, but what the boy wants the boy gets!)

It was such a perfect morning spent celebrating our sweet boy! Next stop, Kindergarten (after spending the summer at his current school)!
