Pre-K Graduation? What's next?

Destroy had pre-K graduation a couple of weeks ago.

Search's class did a couple of songs. Which were hilarious I might add because it required them to turn around and shake what their momma gave 'em at the audience. I had no idea kids could be so different in this aspect. Two just stood there, one slightly swayed side to side, one shook all he had and then Search, since he doesn't know how to shake his bum, just shakes his elbows up and down as furiously as he can while slouched over while keeping his behind completely still. Destroy's class then put on their class play after singing a whole lot of songs. Destroy was the lead frog in their "froggy play".

He was thrilled to be the lead because he got the rights from the teacher to boss the other frogs around because they (just tadpoles) had to listen to him and follow him around. The kids ONLY consented to following his instructions while on stage.


Last came the graduation ceremony. Who knew that they made caps and gowns for 4 and 5 year olds? Not me! It was a pretty big deal I guess but super cute.

While the graduation song played (I know I should know the name of it but I don't), each kid walked across the stage and received their "diploma" and a balloon. While they walked and their name was announced, a big picture of them, their name and what they wanted to be when they grow up was projected up onto the wall above them. Destroy is a "policeman in the making". Again, just another way for him to boss people around. Do you get the idea that he likes to be bossy??? We are working on this :)
After everyone was across the stage, instead of throwing their hats, they all let their balloons go at the same time. This was pretty hard for some of those little kids to do and left some of them in tears! But they all did it.

Destroy got a couple of pictures with his friends.
All his friends are girls.


Ladies' man. A bossy one, but a ladies' man.And luckily he's not too cool yet to snap a shot with his mom and pop.

This pre-K graduation was about as long as my high school graduation. No joke. But I loved every minute of it because I got to see what my kids had been working on for the last couple of months!
