Preschool commencement

Owen had his graduation ceremony at Scribbles today. It was really wonderful!

The ceremony started with a welcome to the parents and then continued with some entertainment provided by the graduating class.

This song was my favorite ...



... That said, it's hard not to like this classic:



Then the big moment came. Owen, as you can imagine, was the first in his class to receive his diploma in Pre-K studies.



He was very proud of himself. And he enjoyed the post-commencement festivities immensely.

... and then we took him to the doctor for his five year checkup. 44.5 inches tall. 49 lbs.

The only real bummer were the three shots. He's not great with them, but had a wonderful moment after the first two were administered. "Just do it. Get it over with!" he shouted.

As we were leaving the doctor's office he was, again, very proud of himself. He'd been steeling himself in preparation for these shots all week ... all year, perhaps.

His arms are sore tonight, but all in all I think he knows today was a pretty good day.

We're proud of you, Owen!
