Bode Has Hit the Bigtime

Bode has officially entered big boy realm. As he reminds me often, he is no longer a baby. He is five now. He is a big boy. Tuesday solidified that as he has officially graduated preschool. Im not exactly sure what that means. I mean seriously, how do you graduate preschool? I guess its the times in which we live. We all get trophies, no one loses and we now graduate preschool. Fun times! He actually wasnt that excited about it but he is well excited that he now gets to attend school with his big brother come August.

As lame as the thought of graduating preschool is, I have to admit the proceedings were cute. They all walked down the aisle single file to the sounds of Pomp and Circumstance, then we were christened with a song. I was there live, watched the videos mutliple times and frankly, still have no idea what the hell they sang. The kids are all singing at the top of their lungs, to their own beat and clearly will not be outdone by their classmate.

Being that this is the second graduation we have attended, its fun to see the difference in personalities between Ethan and Bode. At Ethan’s preschool graduaion, you can see his mouth moving, but no real sound coming out his mouth. There is always one kid that must be heard. Yeah, Bode’s that kid. It’s clear, he is singing and he is bringing tha thunda. In case you cant tell, he is kid open mouthed, screaming singing at the top of his lungs. Oh yeah, he is also in the pink polo shirt, blue cargo pants and orange crocs. What can I say…he’s our little fashionista.

After the three and four year olds sang, the graduating class sang a few more songs:

zippie doo da…

So we are ready….

My favorite part is where they introduce themselves and tell us what they want to be when they grow up. Ethan wanted to be a doctor at the end of preschool, by then end of Kindergarten it was a veterinarian. We shall see what Bode decides to do by the end of next year.

What I want to be…
