Kindergarten and preschool graduation

Well the school year is over ....yes I KNOW it is mid july, I'm playing catch up ; )......and we are well into summer...(even if it doesn't feel like it temperature wise) and my babies have officially graduated!

I can hardly believe that Kaden will be in FIRST GRADE next year! And Miss Kara in Kindergarten!!!! Ahhhh! They are getting so big I just want to freeze time!!



Kaden's graduation consisted of a singing program, diploma ceremony, and reception.

And then there was Little Miss Kara's end of the year celebration.....

She had a wonderful program in which each child represented a letter of the alphabet (Kara was R) The did a few songs, but their big number was called who let the letters out to the tune of who let the dogs out. All the kids were wearing their dog ears and had their noses painted brown. There was a big paper dog house on stage and when their part came they would go through the doggie house doors!! It was so cute!!! The song went...who let the A out?? Aah, aah, aah, aah....Who let the B out? Buh, buh, buh, buh....and so on! They were just adorable!!!
They learned a TON of sign language this year,as one of her teachers was extremely proficent. I would say she has a sign vocab of over a 100 words!! So they did a few song all in sign. It was really great!! After the program we also had a reception where they gave us her memory book and graduation certificate!! I just love how the teachers are putting together these memory books, Kaden got one this years as well. They are so time consuming!! But are so thoughtful and are just little treasures!!!!

Oh....and how could I almost forget???? Kara also had a little crush on a boy this year. His name is Nate and evidently after talking to his mom and dad, Nate had the same little crush!!!! They were always sitting by each other and playing together, it was pretty cute....but I am SOOOOOO not ready for this already!!! : )
