Preschool Graduation Day

Well, I can't believe he's done with preschool...where has the time gone?? It's been a wonderful year at Peace Luthern Preschool in Coon Rapids - I honestly can't say enough positive things about them. The communication has been great, they are very organized and the kids have done some really neat learning projects. Some of our favorites are all throughout the year they learned about Minnesota and put all the information in a book to take home; an ABC tactile book, where each week they focused on a letter and then covered the letter with something that started with it (like the letter "P" was covered with puzzle peices); and watching caterpillars change into butterflies and then releasing them.

Here are the boys awaiting the start of the program.


Brendan and a very proud mom.


Aiden keeping busy trying to squish daddy's nose. He provided the pre-program entertainment for everyone seated in our area!


None of the photos turned out from during the ceremony, but here is a newly graduated Brendan right afterwards.

His buddies Mason and Lucas...

His two teachers, Mrs. Pramman and Mrs. Tommerdahl - very patient and creative ladies!


Afterwards everyone went to a nearby park to play and have a picnic. Here is Brendan with Bailey - he's had the biggest thing for her all year, and she never wants to play with him. He was really excited about going on the tire swing with her and her little sister. He's got good taste - she's a cutie!


I'll try to add some video later. The kids sang some songs and then each were called to get their "diploma" and shake the teachers' hands. Brendan is fighting some type of nasty virus right now so by the end of the whole thing he was pretty tired. Hopefully he'll be back to his old self soon!
