Preschool Graduation!

Today was Kayda and Dillon's preschool graduation program.  They get dropped off for school at 9:15 and the program started at 10 so Grandma G, Carson and I ran a quick errand and then just hung out at the church.  Carson thought these little steps were fantastic, the sneaky little bugger loved the microphone and it's cord.  He even managed to pull it over in the middle of the program with both Grandmas watching him!  Daddy and I were video taping/taking pictures. 

The program started with the typical graduation music, the kids got to walk up the aisle. The "frogs" (in kindergarten next year) got to wear little graduation caps.

The "bumble bees" got to wear frog hats since that's the class they'll be in next year.

We said the pledge of allegiance which was kind of akward.  None of the parents wanted to stand up because of the MANY parents attempting to video tape the program. 

Each of the frogs had a speaking part and they all sang us several songs.  My favorite had to be "Pa-tu-te-ta" which is their VERY silly song.  It was SO much fun to watch the kids do.

In "Pa-tu-te-ta" they have to go through various stages and say "pa-tu-te-ta".  The final is thumbs up, elbows back, feet apart, knees together, bottoms up, tongue out, eyes shut, turn around.  So we had all these preschoolers spinning circles looking OH so goofy.

Kayda got to sing a duet for a little while before the other kids joined in. 

The bumble bees sang a version of "Zippity Do Da" to the frogs and then the frogs sang a song about growing up and heading off to kindergarten.  Is it weird that I'm sadder that Kayda is officially no longer a preschooler than the fact that she'll be in kindergarten next year?  I'm excited for THAT part.  Each student was called up and they said something nice about them.  Miss Brenda said that Kayda "Loves to smile and laugh" and Miss Donna said that Dillon "Makes her smile every day".  Have a said how much I love this preschool?

Here is Kayda with two of her favorite girls, we missed Alyssa.  On the left is Khushi, then Kenzie and then my beautiful little girl!

Here's our family!

Both grandmas were able to make it so we HAD to get a picture with them!  Too bad the kids weren't cooperationg.  I still like the picture though!

Oh there's the best friend again!  Kayda and Kenzie.  Kenzie thinks the end of preschool means she'll never see Kayda again so she didn't smile the WHOLE program.  Lucky for her I enjoy her mom so she'll see Kayda PLENTY.

They were having a fantastic time on the stairs.
