Cue Pomp and Circumstance

Max graduated from preschool this morning! They had a very sweet little ceremony for all the big kids now headed off to kindergarten. Despite the over-riding excitement for Max to go to kindergarten because he's just so darn excited, there's also a little bit of sadness that he's already through this phase of his life. It's true...in childhood, the days can be long, but the years are fast. It's also funny how things can change from a parent's perspective. When I taught junior high, the kindergartners looked like such little guys, babies really, but now that I have one of my own, he seems like such a big kid!

Here comes the graduate:
Singing one of their graduation songs:
Getting a graduation gift from Miss Erika:His teachers, Miss Lori and Miss Erika. Miss Lori will be one of Ben's teachers next year.

It's a family affair:

Having some graduation cake with his peeps:Max and his good friends, Sara and Emily. Emily is the one with bangs. Apparently, she plans to marry Max. Max told me about this very matter-of-factly, adding "I guess we'll get a couple kids and some dogs from a shelter." Good planning, little man.

Happy graduation, Maxwell!
