Preschool graduation!

Tonight we had the first of what I hope will be many, many graduations for Ben & Maddie. It was a cute little ceremony, complete with white caps and capes. The kids sang several songs and did a percussion number with sticks. They went around and introduced themselves and pointed out their family. And later they said what they wanted to be when they grow up and they displayed a picture (on a screen) that they drew depicting this future occupation. Ben said he wants to be a police officer. Maddie said she wants to be a dance teacher. They each got a diploma and a chance for a picture with their primary teacher. And then a group photo at the end, which was pretty much a disaster since very few of them (especially the boys) could sit still by that point). We also tried to get a family photo and didn't have the greatest luck with that, either.
