The Graduate

"The time has come, the time is now..." (Dr Seuss).

The time *has* come. Melanie graduated from Lovin' Learning Preschool Saturday! They had a very nice ceremony on Saturday for the kids, family, and friends.

Melanie was so sweet walking to the stage. She was having trouble with her hat, but LOVED wearing the gown.

The program was full of songs, and everyone had a part. They also demonstrated things they learned over the year (including counting by ten's, the alphabet sounds, days of the week, and more).Melanie's part was "Sometimes we really had to "dig" in to learn about things like butterflies and frogs". She did it so well.

Then the kids got their certificates. This is our friend, Josh, graduating.

Here is another friend, Alissa, graduating.

Finally it was Melanie's turn.

Noelle was worn out by all the excitement.

Oliver really enjoyed the whole thing.

Melanie said congrats to her friends and then got some refreshments!

Oh, and we can't forget the flowers Grandma and Grandpa Smithson got her!

Thank you to all the grandparents that were able to come.

Congratulations, Melanie, on one very amazing year of school. You have grown and learned so much. Mom and Dad are both so proud of you! We Love You!
