Preschool Graduation Day!

Today was Jack and Lauren's preschool graduation day. They were so excited to perform their songs and to get their diplomas. The singing performance was so cute. They both had speaking parts. Jack did a wonderful job with that. He spoke loudly and was easy to understand. I was especially proud of Lauren as this was the first time she has spoken in front of a group. (A part of me was thinking that she wasn't going to do it. In large crowds, she can get a little shy from time to time.) But, she did such a great job speaking...you could tell she was nervous, but she did it!

This is one of John, Jane, and my mom watching the performance. I am not sure if you can see John's smile, but you can tell he was really enjoying it! What a proud Grandpa! How lucky are Jack and Lauren to have such wonderful and supportive grandparents who come to watch all of their performances, games and recitals.

It is funny that Lauren "graduated" from preschool today...she still has two years left! She loved her hat and her diploma.

Below is Jack receiving his diploma. It doesn't seem that long ago that he started preschool and here we are two years later. He is SO ready for kindergarten and is excited for it to begin. I know he had a great time this year, but I think he is ready to be challenged academically at his new school.

Lauren is the cutest!

He is such a great little boy...I am so lucky that he is my son.

Happiness.

They had the best things to say about Jack and Lauren today. I was so proud of them. They said that Jack was ready for kindergarten and he was such a sweet caring boy. They were very impressed with Lauren. She was the youngest in the class and they said no one would believe that. Socially she interacted well with everyone. Her writing and letter sound and recognition is excellent. Way to go Jack and Lauren.

Here are two videos...one of each of them introducing their song.
