Blythe's pre-school graduation

On Thursday Blythe had her pre-school graduation. Sniff sniff. She's growing up so fast. She asked us if we were coming to her pre-school graduation and then if we would come to her next one when she goes to college. We told her of course and that we'd be at every one in between too.

Their class had been practicing for the last few weeks and apparently dress rehearsal took an hour and 45 minutes, so the teachers were kind of freaking out that it would be a flop, but it was really really great.

Gommy, Poppa, and Laura came up to see Blythe at her graduation and we got Ethan out of his class so he could watch (he calls it her gradulations).

The teacher's mom made this awesome cake:


And they had nice decorations of art work the kids had made and pictures of them in their caps and gowns and baby pictures and posters.



I was really impressed by the amount of work they put into it to make it so special for the kids.

It last about 30-40 min and had a bunch of singing, some poems, a few readings by the kids on what they are looking forward to in kindergarten (Blythe said she's looking forward to playing Play-Doh and doing centers), and a distribution of their diplomas.


I'm so proud of my little girl, the graduate (and her BFF Ashley).
