Graduation

A few weeks ago, Madi graduated from her preschool...that she's going to attend again next year. Confused? The quick answer - they ALL get to "graduate", whether they're finishing the preschool program or the kindergarten program or coming back the following year. Turns out it's a good thing that we get to do it again next year, because we forgot to charge our camera and the battery died half way though the program. The rest of it was documented on my phone camera. I just figure we'll fix her hair the same way next year and piece two years of pictures into one big event!

The Proud Graduate

The part I was the most concerned about was the program (songs and diploma) due to Madi's fear of people looking at her and clapping. But to my surprise, Madi did excellent! I think it helped that they practiced it for 2 weeks before the actual graduation.
After Madi got her diploma, she thought that she had to hold it up in every picture.

It was fun to celebrate the end of a great school year. We're thankful for a wonderful school and the best teachers in the world.
