Caroline graduated from preschool this morning with a little bit of pomp and circumstance. She and I made her cardboard graduation cap on Muffins with Mom day. Although I thought I might get a bit teary during the big event, Ben's stellar behavior ensured that I did not.
Caroline's teacher took the time to say a few words about each of her 16 students. Her characterization of Caroline was very accurate -- she loves music, learns (most) of the words to songs very, very quickly, she's a chatterbox, bright, confident, and social. The teacher's predictions for Caroline's future: 1) Appearance on American Idol; 2) Broadway Star; or 3) Actress/Performer. Ha! (I should note that Caroline has been serenading her teachers all year with various rock and pop songs learned all year, most recently some songs from the TV show Glee. She's also been spending a lot of time singing/dancing in the mirrors around the house.)
Caroline and some of her classmates attended to Kindergarten orientation yesterday afternoon, which included meeting the teachers, visiting the classrooms, and riding the bus around the parking lot. Although I know that she is a bit sad about leaving this class behind, she is now very excited about Kindergarten. Unfortunately she was under the impression that Kindergarten would be starting soon -- you can only imagine her reaction when I told her the first day of Kindergarten was over 90 days away! That's an eternity to a 5-year old (and her mom).
