Preschool Graduation

Preschool Graduation
Originally uploaded by tracyg00

Jake had is preschool graduation earlier this month. There were only 3 boys in his class and they all told Miss Riley that they were going to sit together. She didn't argue with them. He wasn't shy about singing his songs - as a matter of fact, he had been singing them at home for 2 months prior.

Here's a token picture with Mom. I don't make too many of the photos since I'm usually behind the camera.



Shortly after graduation, we began the process of planning Jake's superhero birthday party. I had to go to a costume shop to find an 80's wig (more on that later), and when we got there Jake fell in love with this batman costume. He begged me to get it for his superhero party. I just couldn't say no.



He put the costume on as soon as we got home and kept it on for the next two days. He walked around the neighborhood with it on. I brought him to the grocery store as Batman and he even went to the Queen of All Saints Parish picnic with that thing on. He got a lot of attention.



I volunteered to help with Megan's Field Day at school. Basically, the class went from station to station playing games. Jake was with me for the day and was a little shy at first, but by the time they got to the parachute, he jumped right in without even being asked. I think he couldn't help himself. They finished up with ice cream in the cafeteria.



When it was time to line up to go inside, Jake just got right into the boys' line and sat at the table with the rest of the boys. This kid will have no trouble at all making friends. He just got himself right into the mix. Look at how comfortable he is with the big kids:



And last but not least, the infamous 80's party. Darin and I went to the Klee's house for an 80's themed party. We like to think we would have ranked pretty high - had there been a costume contest.
