Caleb's Graduation

Caleb graduated from preschool on Tuesday. It was cute. They had a little singing performance right before they called each of the kids to come forward and get their 'diploma'. I was a little disappointed that Caleb was in the middle row and the kids in front hats made it very hard to see him. Even behind the hat, I could see some attempts at making the motions to the songs and to singing. The favorite part of the evening for the kids were the cookies after.


Caleb went to a preschool this year that was only one day a week. This preschool was a a church and was at no cost at all. They even provided the kids with a snack. I have been very impressed with this preschool program. They gave each of the kids the cutest book at the end with pictures of things they did throughout the year. The kids also each got a child's Bible at graduation. It has been great, but Caleb needs more than one day so next year he will be going to pre-k and it will be 3 hours 3 days a week. It will be a huge adjustment for him.


Here are some pictures from the graduation.









This week was also right-to-read week at Leah's school. We've been reading lots of books and they've had some fun things planned at school. On Wednesday, it was dress like an alien day. I really struggled with what to have Leah wear. I decided to make her costume out of a paper bag. I cover it with aluminum foil and duct tape. I had Leah glue what she called buttons on it. I thought it turned out well, but Leah didn't really want to wear it after all my hard work. However, the deal was that she had to wear it until her teacher saw it. I figured that she would end up leaving it on when she saw the other kids. She did hold up her end of the bargain, but she did not leave it on. She told me that Mrs. O'Brien said it was awesome and the other kids that saw it loved it too. I guess one of her friends tried to tell her to put it back on, but she didn't want too. She took it off so quick that she could name 5 or 6 kids who actually saw it.









The good news is that Caleb thinks it's a pretty cool dress up outfit!
