Hats off to the graduate

Today Tyler "graduated" preschool. Granted he still has a whole year left of preschool before attending kindergarten, but hey, a milestone is a milestone!

We got there and Tyler wanted nothing to do with the cap and gown. Apparently gowns frighten him. God forbid he wear anything that resembles the "cape" that you wear when getting your hair cut. But, after a little coaxing, and he did it! I was not however successful in convincing him to wear his tassel. Apparently it's way more exciting to spin it around and twirl it.

He did better than I expected, although he did try to run to me (like quite a few other kids) during the marching portions. I think he was just confused as to what he was supposed to do. They sang a few songs. Well, Tyler twirled his tassel instead. He chimed along a bit on the ABCs and Where is Thumbkin. Then they got their diplomas, which Tyler was overjoyed about because they also got a "present" (a graduation cup with some goodies). Afterwards we had some refreshments. All in all, it was a cute little event, although I don't think Tyler gets the finality of it all. He keeps saying "but I want to go back to preschool on Monday". LOL.

By the way, aren't the little caps and gowns so stinkin' cute???!!!!
