I honestly didn't expect today's events to hit me quite so hard. Sure, I knew it would be a bit saddening facing the fact that "my baby" was graduating preschool. All the kids have now reached the big leagues. But dang, did it throw me for a loop.
At the start of the graduation ceremony they show this really awesome slide show featuring pictures from throughout the entire year. It's really nice, set to music and all. "Forever Young" was the final song, and I tell you, by the end I just had tears streaming down my cheeks. What a sap, huh? Then the kids performed a few musical numbers of their own. And finally they got their diplomas.
You know, I really am proud of how far he's come this year. But it's still okay if I call him my baby, isn't it?

Ay! I'll be there tomorrow with Jacob, and I am sure I'll be one blubbering mess!
Awww... they always look so sweet in their little construction paper graduation caps...
He'll always be your baby, Debi. My baby is heading off to college in August!
What an adorable picture! Yes, I would be crying too. I cry most years when I say goodbye to my kindergarten class. Your baby is always your baby no matter how old they get.
take care,
Dawn

Ditto what everyone else said - he will always be your baby! What a cutie pie he is. I would have been bawling too. It truly is a bittersweet moment!
