The Graduate

Joseph, dressed in a button up blue shirt and wearing a cap upon his head, walked into the classroom to accept his diploma from his teacher.


After much discussion with he teacher, he decided not to sing a solo and instead joined his classmates in a round of songs so sweet they made my teeth ache.


My baby boy is now officially a preschool graduate.


Next fall he starts Kindergarten.

Next fall you'll find me huddled in a soggy pile of tissues crying about my baby.

I'll be joining you.  My little man just graduated from Kindergarten and will be starting 1st grade this fall.  

Congratulations to you and your little guy!

Oh - it's so hard letting them go! and it doesn't even get easier as they get older. Just a series of "sad/happy/proud/wistful" moments... first full day of school! first time at overnight camp! first time driving! college move-in day! packing them to move across the country!

Good job Joesph...he looks so proud. As he should be..;O) Glad the solo song worked out for all.

Oh, wow....just so cute! My son just graduated from high school, and this just takes me back in a great way!

You post about your son's graduation nearly made me melt into a sobbing puddle of messiness.

Mostly because of this.

We'll have to start a support group!

mandyland said...

I think it did. He wasn't quite as...brave...on the actual day. :)
