Sadie’s graduation

June 12th, 2009

We went to Sadie’s Preschool/Pre-K graduation yesterday. This was my first one of these, so I didn’t have much of idea of what to expect.

It’s always important to have cake. If you want a quick snapshot of what parents were naming their kids 3-5 years ago, here you go.

The kids arrived on the bus from school and marched on in. They then went through all the songs they’ve been practicing for weeks. We had spirited renditions of “Open, Shut Them” and “Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Light.” Then, they went around the room and all the children called out what they wanted to be when they grew up. We had a couple of motorcycle racers, a fireman or two, several ballerinas, and Sadie: a farmer.

Then they came up to get their diplomas. Sadie strided purposefully across the stage.

She was pretty excited when she got to sit down with her diploma.

Then, the kids got cake and lemonade, and the parents milled around. I whipped out my charcoal pen and did a quick drawing of Sadie eating her cake.

Finally, it was time to go. But, we did get one last touchdown celebration.

Congratulations, Sadie!
