Brayden's Graduation!

Many tears and many smiles! Although we have three days left of school, Brayden's preschool graduation was held this afternoon. It was such a sweet little ceremony! The only pictures that did not turn out well were the ones of us on stage with Brayden in his cap and gown :( The flash wasn't on so they are all blurry...fitting because that was the state of my vision for most of the ceremony due to tears!

The teachers had handed us a paper when we got there to fill out entitled "We are proud of you because...". Unbeknowst to us, when each child was called up for his/her gown and diploma, the teachers had their family join them and read what they wrote aloud to their child. We were called first and, needless to say, Daryl read ours--I was crying too much! Nothing like a quivering, blubbering voice that no one can understand. Daryl did a great job and rescued me from the embarrassment :) Many moms and dads who followed were "wibbly", so I wasn't alone!

It was a great afternoon to top off a great school year. Now if I can only get through sending him off to Kinder...
