Jack was the only preschooler to graduate, just like his jie jie. As for the ceremony, after marching in, the children said the Pledge of Allegiance and then performed several songs for us:
Days of the Week (sung to the Adams Family theme song),
Months of the Year (sung to the tune of the Macarena),
I Have Super Manners,
If You're Thankful and You Know It
I Have Two Feet, How 'Bout You?,
Reach, Reach, Way Up High,
The Beary Boogie (with teddy bears, sung to the tune of the Hokey Pokey),
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, and
The Tootie Ta

After the ceremony and the performance, Jack opened his presents (including tissues for his perpetually runny nose), and we watched a slide show that Miss Kelly made with photos she'd taken of Jack in daycare and in preschool, set to music. I cried. There were many, many photos of Jack sleeping, including more than a few of him having fallen asleep right in the middle of eating lunch or snack--according to Miss Kelly, Jack's her very best sleeper. :) We stayed 'til after dark and then headed home--thank goodness it's only across the street! I am so proud of my handsome, smart, funny little boy! Look out, kindergarten, here he comes!
