One diploma down and at least two more to go!
SoSo went the distance this year and wrapped up about 9 months of full-day kindergarten in June. Mrs. Phillips and SoSo had a stellar year together. It was definitely time to celebrate! I think all school kids love a good school party, but I think full-day kindergartners just might love them best. And there was no better time to have one than on the last day of school. (Full-day kindergarten moms have theirs on the first day of school.)
Now a couple of thoughts on the general idea of "graduating" from kindergarten: I believe Sawyer still has at least a decade and a half of school days ahead of him. While I don't think it can quite be called cruel (after all 5-year-olds are largely oblivious to the idea of graduation meaning you're done with school or at least the one you're graduating from), perhaps it's a bit misleading and in any event unnecessary to "graduate" from kindergarten. I will admit, though, he looked darned cute in that construction paper graduation cap.
