Preschool Graduation

We've had a few friends comment recently that a graduation ceremony for preschool seems like a little much. I'm guessing those friends have no idea just how much preschool costs. The graduation seems quite warranted to us--given the monetary investment, we would've expected a Bachelor's degree to go along with it.

Costs aside, graduation from ChildRoots Center for Young Children was pretty cute. Each child received a few words in their honor and then they walked through a tunnel of teachers, all dressed up in gowns.

The incredibly spot-on piece about Ava can be seen here:

And here's Ava with a few of her teachers on graduation day:

You like berry picking? We did that! You want a backyard barbecue? We did that too! Fireworks? Heard 'em...even through our noise-canceling headphones! Day at a swimming hole? Aquarium? Nailed it!

It was a sweet month, made even sweeter by a visit from Layne and Gary. The kids scored some serious quality time with their grandparents--reading, ice cream field trips, a day at the coast, and plenty of time playing in the park.
