In May 2011, we enrolled RJ in preschool, so he could get used to being in a classroom environment with other kids again. He had been in preschool full-time when I was working, but we wanted to get him into a part-time program so he could get ready for kindergarten. As he will be attending Kindergarten starting in August, it was time for preschool to come to an end, and so he graduated at the end of June.
The teachers planned the ceremony for a Friday, which happened to be the Friday right before RJ's birthday party. We were busy cleaning the house and baking for the party, and it wasn't a day that RJ was normally attending preschool, so we committed the cardinal sin of letting RJ watch some TV before leaving for the graduation (thus alleviating the issue of him making messes faster than I could clean them). So of course he didn't want to leave our house and spend the entire graduation ceremony scowling and being grumpy. Ahhh...memories.
The ceremony itself was cute with them singing a song and then handing out diplomas. RJ did seem to perk up once food was involved after the ceremony though, so we got a few pictures of him with his teachers (even though his nice button down shirt was already smeared with cupcake frosting at that point).
