Yes, it seems silly to have a preschool graduation. And even more indulgent to give "diplomas" to the kids who are just moving up from the two-day class to the three-day. But it's so darn cute!
The festivities yesterday evening at Alec's school capped off the month's Olympics theme. The kids took part in a relay (Instead of circling the playground, Alec took the baton and sat down) and a water balloon toss before joining in a pint-sized protest of the Beijing Olympics (OK, I made that last part up). They each got a crown of grape leaves (really maple) and a medal; Alec is still miffed I wouldn't let him wear his to bed.
Then came the graduation ceremonies, which consisted of the teacher presenting a diploma and saying what each kid had told her he or she wanted to be upon growing up. Alec said "a dino," which might not seem to be the most realistic of career goals, but dino is a far more power position than that chosen by the kids who wanted to be a kitten, a frog and a pegasus.
