Pomp and Circumstance

Nathan's Preschool Graduation was on Friday evening. He has spent the month of May preparing for it at school and he was incredibly excited. I'm sure many of you are wondering why they need a graduation. It's just preschool, right? The reason they have a graduation is to give the children a chance to do this:


I mean, what child doesn't cherish the opportunity to stand on stage and wave to his family? And seriously, this graduation is one of the things about our preschool that we absolutely love. It is a big celebration of the transition from preschool to kindergarten and the kids really love having such a special night. Nathan was so serious while he was singing, but in between songs he was having the time of his life. Afterwards, we introduced our big boys to Leatherby's. Yum! We gathered there with all the grandparents, several aunties and cousins, and an uncle. Now instead of asking to go to Wendy's, Nathan asks to go to "the place we went after my graduation."

I have been so pleased with everything at this preschool. The teachers are fabulous. The curriculum is wonderful. My kids have learned so much and come away completely prepared for kindergarten. And the owner is all about giving the kids moments of great joy and success. What parent wouldn't love for their child to have moments like this one?


So let's give a cheer for the new graduate! Hip, hip hooray!
