Le woot. I think you should come to Vegas in September to celebrate.
Yes, this.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yummy sounds are coming from my iPod.
Mmmmm. Kane or Corb?

Happy birthday Teppy! May it be full of good things.
And, piggy-backing on the good wishes - graduation for me was high school and college, nothing for kindegarten or elementary school. A lot of the people I went to HS with didn't go on to college, so it was their only one.
And Sparky - and other librarians - I used to see someone in my neighborhood with a "Conan the Librarian" t-shirt.

Kane at the moment. I put all the stuff you sent onto a playlist, so it bounces around.

Ann, that's a ferret.
But seriously people - sausage packaged to look like soccer balls? FIFA soccer ball shaped cereal?

Tep, I hope this is the best birthday ever.
I must admit that the only reason Nick had a kindergarten graduation (during the last day of school, took about a half hour) is because I planned it, organized it, bought the little certificates and made the little mortarboards and tassels. No one there had ever heard of such a thing, but both of my younger siblings had one and it was cute, so I did it, and the other parents also thought it was cute, and brought video cameras and such, and it was the only graduation Nick had, so... um... there.

Happy birthday, Teppy!
Unless you've had enough of that.

What is even happening?
Ben's class did something like that in kindergarten, but it was more a performance of patriotic songs, etc., than a "moving on" thing. I don't know why I'm being cranky about it. Possibly because it was at 8 a.m.
Why in kindergarten? Did they switch schools for first grade, or something? Ben's just finished fourth grade, but here, middle school starts in fifth (which is way too early and a rant for an entirely different day). It was more of a performance/party than a ceremony.
Well, they're out. Ben got as good and/or better grades in every subject. Three other children from his fouth grade class will be in his middle school room (one other boy and two girls, both of whom are "okay, I guess" for girls), which is great, because we're coming from the smallest elementary school in town.
Julia got the same (great) grades, although she was also graded in some areas for which she hasn't received grades, before. She did well in those areas, as well.
It's over, and I'm so so so so so so glad. I bet the only people more happy than I am are the teachers.

Because books.

For little kids, I think it's fun. They love it, it's a way to help them understand that they're moving on to a new grade, a new teacher, what have you. I can't believe you did all that work yourself, though. You're amazing.
Why in kindergarten?
I wasn't clear -- it wasn't really graduation, it was just an end-of-year program, more for the parents to see the kids sing songs and be cute. Ben's teacher was into the whole teamwork thing, and working on a group project, so they made the decorations and practiced the songs, and all that. It was during class, too, not a separate event.
Ohmigod, I can't type today.
