Pre-School Graduation!

Emily was so excited for pre-school to start in September that it doesn't seem possible it is already over. Emily told me she was so sad that she is graduating she felt like crying. Her graduation was held in the library on the 16th and was lively enough to keep us all awake.
The classes had learned songs and dances to perform for all of us. Emily took her dancing very serious. They danced to everything from High School Musical to Hickory Dickory Dock. They danced with about anything that can be shaken or hit. Our favorite move was when all the kids were trying to do the "sprinkler" dance move. It took all of us a few minutes to figure out what they were even doing.
She definitely knows how to swing her hips. During this song her sunglasses fell off and she slid them under her chair just like her teacher told her. She has absolutely loved her teacher and does anything she says.
The ceremony was quite official with Pomp and Circumstance playing in the background and caps placed on each student's head.
This is Emily's teacher. Tyler and Megan also went to this preschool and absolutely loved Teacher Vicki.
Each graduate told Teacher Vickie some of their favorite things and then each was read during the graduation. This was Emily's official graduation accomplishments. Most of the kids said they wanted to be Wal-Mart workers. So many in fact, that many asked if the graduation was sponsored by Wal-Mart. Such is the life of a pre-schooler.
Now a new chapter begins in Emily's life. Three days after graduation, Emily headed to Kindgergarten round-up. I hope her excitement for learning and school continues. Way to go Emily!

Wow, we couldn't tell if it was Emily's prom or preschool graduation. What a pretty graduation dress.
