Graduation Day

Cue the Chris Isaak music. No wait, on second thought, don't. That dude is Deee-Pressing.

This past Wednesday, Jack graduated from Preschool. I've always pretty much made fun of this particular "rite of passage". But now that Jack's reached it, I love it! He was so proud of himself, and how great is it to have your first foray into the world of education end so incredibly? Mum attended the big day, Mike took the day off work, Miss Mandy came with Cregan and Millie in tow.

Jack, by virtue of our last name, got to lead the "procession" -- at least at first.


Their teacher led them through the Y, where all the staff and people working out applauded the little scholars.

Then came the "ceremony", complete with singing and diploma hand outs! And a yearbook!! And then....ribs and cake!!!

And then....ice cream!! That last part courtesy of Nanny, or took us Uptown for the yummiest ice cream of all.

Is it any wonder, that after all that studying and the stress of final exams, this is where my two boys ended up that afternoon??
