Pre-K Graduate!


Well, my baby graduated from Pre-K on Thursday!! He even had a real graduation service that evening at 7:00. (It was funny .... in preparation for the ceremony, we went to Target to get him a long sleeve, button up white shirt to wear under his gown. He asked what the white shirt was for and we told him for graduation. He replies "But I already have my costume"!!!)

He got to start the day in class with an end of year party. He got his actual diploma then from his teacher and got to say his good-byes (Mommy got to say her goodbyes to the teacher too and shed a few tears).
After school, a little girl in his class held a pool party to celebrate. It was lots of fun except .... Mother of the Year here forgot to put sunscreen on the graduate! So he has very rosy cheeks in the next photos!

Next stop, graduation: The ceremony was sweet with all the little kids up on stage waving to their parents. At one point, Tyler was waving to us and mouthing "Hi Isabella". Isabella saw this and SCREAMS "HI TYLER"!! Everyone turns to look at her and Mason and I start giggling. It was just toooooo cute! But Isabella got VERY embarrassed and began to cry. It took a while to get her to calm down. It was so sad but it was so cute and funny the way she started yelling from half way back in the chapel!!

After the ceremony, there was a little reception in the gym of punch and cookies.

But ... my baby is a graduate! I got as many pictures as I could get of him with a decent look on his face (maybe a pool party on such a busy day wasn't a good idea - he was crabby!!).





All in all, it was a good day. And Tyler has already begun asking how many days are left until he starts Kindergarten!!
