This was the day of my daughter's Kindergarten graduation. It was actually warm outside, when lately it has been unseasonably cold, and the school gym was packed with proud parents/grandparents/siblings. This made it quite hot and stuffy in the large room, and the lighting was dim making it difficult to get some good photos of the event; but all of this didn't matter because my baby was graduating!
She was easy to spot, located in the front row of the left group and wearing a blue dress with black Mary Janes ... she looked like Alice from Alice in Wonderland. After the 60 or so Kindergartners sang a series of songs complete with hand motions (and curtsies from my daughter), the commencement ceremonies commenced.
It was a joy to see the kids walk over a white painted bridge on the stage to receive their certificates. Some walked shyly, others with great bravado, my daughter - with quiet confidence. A little tingle ran up my spine when I heard the principal call her name. And I lifted my son onto my lap so he could see his big sister walking over the bridge. {sniff, sniff} It was a proud moment.
Receiving her "diploma" from her teacher.
Even her little brother is proud.
Boy, if I was this excited for her Kindergarten graduation, I'm sure I'll be outright hysterical when she graduates high school!
