Graduation

I always thought that preschool graduations were kind of silly-I mean seriously, is it really necessary?  That is until I saw my own children in their makeshift caps and then it was the cutest thing ever.  This was Ava's third and last year of preschool-she was kind of like a 5th year senior in some ways.  She barely missed the kindergarten cutoff (21 days but who's counting?) and so it was another year at Little Lamb Preschool.  I have to admit that I really wanted Ava to start kindergarten this past year.  She was ready.  However, I also had the feeling that she should do another year of preschool.  I'm so glad that I listened to that prompting!  Ava had a fantastic year.  She had a wonderful class and great teachers.  All the kids really got along with each other and Ava made some great friends.  She has become a much more confident child and I think keeping her in preschool really has made all the difference.  I know Ava will miss her school and friends but she is also excited and very ready for kindergarten.
