Grad Night

I think most daycares move kids up to the next level when each child turns a year older. At least that's how Jonah's did it. The girls' school does it a little differently however. They keep all the kids together throughout the year and move them up at the same time the first of summer. And then every May they have a graduation ceremony in which all the kids participate.

Everyone gets dressed up....

Kate's class....

(Oops! Somehow I recorded this sideways!)

Caroline's class...

The K-4 kids all wore caps and gowns to receive their diplomas while a slide show of the kids' baby photos was played. It was very cute and I even got a little teary eyed to which David said, "They're not even your kids!" No, but it was a painful reminder of just how quickly they grow up. Caroline will already "graduate" next year, and I know from Jonah that time goes by even faster once they start elementary school. I am so grateful the girls are able to go to such a caring preschool!
