The Graduate--Part I



Parker "graduated" from preschool last night. Of course, he will be attending preschool again next year so this is Part I of preschool graduation. He was so funny. He started to get nervous right before they went up front, so I told him that all he had to do was stand there--he didn't have to sing if he didn't want to. I thought that maybe he would loosen up once he was with his friends and that he would go ahead and sing. No such luck. He went up there and stood as stiff as a board and didn't sing a note. He kind of moved his lips a few times, but definitely no singing. Afterwards we asked him why he didn't sing and he said, "you said I didn't have to." Oh well, at least he went up there which is an improvement from last year. And, perhaps even more important, he was dressed appropriately for the occasion. This is pretty big for him. He broke all his "rules." He had on "church pants" (that would be khakis to the rest of us), a "fancy" shirt, and a tie no less. WOW!!! He looked so handsome.
