Lily's Graduation

Lily graduated from preschool last week and there was a special ceremony for family to attend.  The kids got up on the stage of the elementary school, where they sang a special song and received their diplomas.  Lily was adorable in her graduation cap and so proud of herself.  Afterwards we walked out through the cafeteria where the big kids were having lunch and everyone clapped and cheered when they saw Lily in her cap.  It was the cutest thing - she was so surprised and pleased that they were clapping for her!  We have videos here of the graduation song and of Lily getting her diploma, so you can see for yourself.

Preschool Graduation

Lily has graduated from the 3 year old program at her preschool!  Yes, they had a little ceremony with hats and diplomas even though she'll be back at a 4 year old preschool class in the fall, but it was cute.  Lily has learned a lot this year.  She now recognizes all of the letters and can write her name.  She likes to dictate notes for me to write down, like signs for the bathroom door saying to keep out of her secret lipstick place (she locks the door and practices putting on lip gloss).  Her teacher evaluations noted her stubbornness and said that she was most proficient in imaginative play.  Will she grow up to be a doctor, a chef, a world explorer?  Or maybe an actress.  She has a flair for melodrama.
