Preschool Graduation

Yes...there actually is a such thing as preschool graduation! His school had a graduation celebration yesterday for the last day of school. Four songs, diplomas, and a small reception. Brady was lucky enough to have all of his grandparents in attendance. (Somehow we didn't get a picture...I must not have been thinking straight!)

We are the Pre-K...

Brady was the second kid in and the second-to-last to get his diploma. He behaved quite nicely and was very nonchalant about receiving his certificate.



I had already written his teachers a thank you note for all that they did this year, but I thanked them again for their wonderful classroom. Something about the way they managed the classroom and treated the kids really helped Brady this year. James and I will take some credit for it too, of course, but he is SO much happier and SO much more confident in himself right now than he was last summer. When I told this to his teachers, they said that he's the child in the classroom that they really miss when he's not there - he's a leader, he's helpful, he's a good friend to his classmates, and they understand why I kept him home for myself on Fridays!

It's so nice to hear these things...makes me feel that we must be doing something right :)

May there always be sunshine...

Rudy's contribution to the festivities? Mid-ceremony, he announces to James, "Take this [handing him a paper]. It has my booger in it." James thought that was really loud, but I didn't even hear it at the end of the row. What everyone in the church heard though was when Rudy said (loudly), "Berger? His name is Berger? Tha's pre'y silwy"
