Our Son, The Graduate

This week is "senior week" at the daycare center, an entire week devoted just to Beck and his other friends in the Pathfinders class, which are the oldest children at the center. Every day there is a special event or trip including an ice cream social, a bike rodeo, picnic lunch, bowling, pizza and movie party, and a graduation ceremony. I swear, we didn't have nearly this much celebration for my high school graduation! 

Rob went with Beck to the bowling alley on Wednesday, it was Beck's first time bowling. He even got a spare! 

Today was the actual graduation ceremony, it was really pretty cute. The theme was "Children All Over The World." The kids performed a song in Spanish, then a song about the world being a mixing pot, and finally they sang the Cat Stevens song "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out." (For all the grandparents, I did make a video recording and I will post it soon) The kids were each presented with diplomas, and there was a slideshow made of pictures from the past year. The center director gave a speech, and then the lead teacher Mrs. Faye gave a speech and she got choked up in the middle of it. After that there was cake and punch and the kids just ran around crazy for a little while. 

There was a piano at the conference hall where the ceremony was. The kids found it right away, of course.
