Graduation

Today was Carolyn’s last day of preschool:

They had a little graduation ceremony for the kids.  It was so cute!  I was worried I would cry, but the only thing that made me even tear up a little was watching Carrie and her close friends walking up to receive their “diplomas” and picturing how they would walk across the stage 13 years from now.  One of them I can just picture skipping across the stage in her cap and gown, just like she did this morning.  And poor Carrie nearly fell on the little stairs they had, because – as she put it – “The stairs are a little big, and so are my new white dressy shoes!”

Tripping up those stairs!
Tripping up those stairs!
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
The diploma
The diploma

I don’t know about Carrie, but I’m going to miss preschool:

I loved her teachers, both years.  The teachers at this school are all excellent, and I’m looking forward to seeing them all again when Anna’s a bit older.  And this year I really looked forward to drop-off and pick-up, as I made friends with several other moms.  Even though I’m sure we’ll be getting the kids (and ourselves!) together this summer, I’ll miss seeing them every other day!

Next stop: kindergarten!
