Preschool Graduation '14

Another preschool graduation is in the books for our family. Two down, one to go. And trust me, I'm not rushing on that next graduate. He can take his sweet time turning 5! 

Isn't she the most precious thing in her cap and gown?! She was beyond proud of herself. 

Sidney was adorable as can be singing songs like "Kindergarten here we come!" and a tune with the lyrics telling the kids to "make new friends, and keep the old". Because oh my, has she made some great friends. 

 She has been going to this "school" aka daycare center, since she was 4 months old. That's a long long time when you're only 5! She has made some incredible relationships and grown exponentially. The director/instructors put together a slide show of pictures, set to music that made this mama cry, displaying these kiddos from babies to toddlers to preschoolers. Oh talk about a tear jerker! 

She talks about her friends everyday. And by everyday, I really do mean EVERYDAY! It's incredible. We hear story after story (though I'm convinced that many of them are made up) about adventures and friendships. 

This past year, she was in the "High-Five" classroom. Her teacher really got to know her as there were only 10-14 kids in the class on any given day. It was wonderful for us to watch her come home with pictures, lessons and exciting stories about things they were learning about. She's pretty excited to spend the summer with Miss M too, as this summer means field trips for these High-Fivers! 

The grandparents came back up to join us for this wonderful event and showed Sidney their support by cheering (and crying) in the audience too. 

 And don't worry, these two knuckle-heads were present too; they solved all of the world's problems from their seats in the audience while the rest of us snapped pictures of all the graduates. 

Congratulations Sidney! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what Kindergarten has in store for you!
We love you!!
