Preschool Graduation

Matthew absolutely loved preschool with Miss Debbie. He made great friends there and learned a lot. I am so glad he got to have this experience. It was so good for him.

Graduation was in May. His teacher put on the most adorable little program at her house. A couple weeks prior to graduation Matthew was sent home looking like this:

And this is what the "diploma" was when I opened it:

Cute huh? Anyway, the whole thing was just too cute. She gave them all a line to say about what they did that year and they performed a few songs. She gave each of them a diploma, a candy lei, and gave each of them an award and spoke about why they got that award. Matthew got the "Chef Award" because he was always talking about how he wanted to be a chef and took his job as the snack helper very seriously whenever it was his turn to be the snack helper. :-) It was funny that she knew Matthew well enough to mention that he was quite a picky eater for wanting to be a chef. ;-) Haha!

After the ceremony we had snacks and mingled and Debbie had a little book for each of us with pictures of what they'd done that year as well as goodie bags for all the kids.

Matthew has one more year until Kindergarten since I don't want him to be SO young going in, and he won't be going to preschool next year since Michael will only pay for one year of preschool, ;-) (and I can't fault him too much for that!) so he and Kate will both be doing "Mommy School" next school year. ;-) We're all excited!
