Preschool Graduation

It is really, really hard to believe that Trey is "graduating" from preschool and moving on to kindergarten.  I just can't wrap my head around the fact that he is old enough to enter public school.

Since we moved to Beaverton in December 2012, Trey has been attending Home Sweet Home Preschool and Child Care.  While every place has its pros and cons, I will say that this daycare has a lot of pros.  It is a half mile from our house, the owner and her daughters love Trey, and he has made some really good friends.

The school did pictures earlier this spring, and I had no idea they were doing caps and gowns.  I had to buy this picture mostly because of Trey's goofy expression.

Randy does morning duty almost all of the time, and I asked him the night before pictures if he wanted me to put some clothes out for Trey.  "No, I got it," was his response.  When I picked Trey up in the afternoon after school pictures, I could not stop laughing that Randy dressed him in the same shirt he wore for school pictures in the fall.  I guess we all know which shirt Randy thinks is Trey's best.

Trey, Everett, and Ryland, the three Musketeers

Late in May, the preschool did a graduation for the seven kids who are moving on to kindergarten.  The kids sang a few songs, Laurie gave them a diploma and said some kind words about each child, and then they threw their caps in the air.  The staff went over the top with gifts for the kids, and it was really cute.  

Ryland, Everett, and Trey

These boys spend so much time together, they are almost like brothers.  

I think they are going to miss spending 10 hours a day together in a small room.

Hopefully, we can all stay in touch because they are all going to different schools.

Trey is going through an uncooperative stage with the camera.

Curt and Ana came over that night after graduation for pizza and ice cream sundaes.  These two have a great time together, and it is so fun to watch them play together.

Fast friends

Trey's last official day at preschool will be June 19th, but he will miss a few days that week since I will be out of school.  He will go for a few days this summer so I can work on my coursework, but his regular daily attendance will actually end this Thursday.  I can't believe we are through this stage of his childhood, and I can't believe that we are almost done paying for full time daycare! Woot woot!!!
