Preschool Graduation

Last week marked the end of the preschool year for Carissa. They celebrated by having a "park day". We ate lunch at the park and played! She was having a great time until it was time for "organized games", and then she didn't want to participate. But the big event was the actual graduation that took place later that night. We arrived at the library, and she was excited to see her friends.

She even allowed her teacher to place the little hat on her head.

Then she danced in the isles while her other classmates got their hats on.

Then it was time to walk in as a class, and that's where she fell apart. She didn't want to walk with them. She didn't want to stand in the front. She didn't want to sing any songs......

UNTIL.....

the magic song! Then she ran up to join her class. She sang her song, jumped when she was supposed to jump, and sang at the top of her volume (which we all know is REALLY loud!)

And after that, she was happy. She sang the rest of the songs, even improvised some dancing between them!

And here she is with her official graduation diploma!

Wow, what a year. She has learned so much! We look forward to another year of preschool with the same teacher! Now let's just hope next fall I won't have to stay there every day!
