London graduated from pre-school on Friday.  I think it’s kind of silly that they had a graduation ceremony and everything because why in the world do they need to graduate from pre-school and what did they do that warrants a graduation?  That said, it was pretty cute.  They had their little caps and each of them got a certificate of completion.

London and her teacher, Mrs. Greene

The ceremony took place at the park where the kids played for a bit and we all had potluck before the actual ceremony.  The sad part for me is not that my little girl is growing up, but that all of the great people I have become friends with throughout this year are sending their kids to a different school.  You see, we didn’t know where we would be living when it came time to go to kindergarten, so we chose a pre-school that was highly recommended by a friend.  It was a mommy and me pre-school class, where the parent (or grandparent) had to stay once a week and work in the classroom, and stay another one of the three days for a parenting discussion.  The third day, we could drop our child off and leave for the morning.  Since I spent so much time around these other parents, some of us became really close.  I hope that we can retain our friendships even though our kids will be going to different schools.

The cute little graduate. I'm having flash-forwards of what she'll look like in 13 years.
