Meyers's Pre K Graduation

Meyers graduated from Pre K last Wednesday. Her school did a really cute little ceremony complete with cap and gown! Somehow I managed not to cry even though they played Pomp and Circumstance when they walked in and had a really cute slide show of the kids. I think part of it is knowing that we made the decision to start her late and do another year of Pre K this past school year. Our plan was for her to be in an actual 5T (5 transition) class back home, but we moved and I couldn't find a 5T here in the middle of the summer. So we did a second round of Pre K and starting late was the absolute right decision for her. Academically, cognitively, etc., she was ready to go to Kindergarten. We chose to start her late for her independence and maturity. I think the reason I didn't cry at the ceremony was because I know that she is so ready for K now. And I'm so glad I got to keep her "with me" for one extra year. Kinder - here we come!

How cute is her cap she got to keep?

John had to get back to work after the graduation, so we met a friend for lunch. We planned on going out to dinner to celebrate, but our pool opened on Wednesday. After swim lessons, we stayed at the pool until almost 7:00. She said that was much more fun than going to dinner:)
