When I heard my preschooler would be wearing a cap/gown and graduating from kindy I scoffed.
As far as I was concerned it was overkill and a bit ridiculous to make such a big deal about it.
The funny thing is that I have graduated twice but have never actually been in the country to attend one of my graduation ceremonies.
I’ve never donned a cap and gown and trotted down a stage and been recognised for my years of hard work. Instead I was living in New York making stacks of cash that I never saved!
Sure when I returned home I made mum and dad happy by mocking up a shot of me holding my scroll wearing a cap and gown but of course it meant nothing.
But to see my middle son up on stage celebrating the end of his preschool years in a graduation gown and cap was quite touching. There might have even been tears!
So I take it all back and I will gladly eat a HUGE piece of humble pie with lashings of whipped cream.
I say wear a cap and gown any chance you can get – life is too short not to!
The nervous finger grab pose
What a poker face!
Showing me his certificate!
Hoping no one notices that he’s taking off his cap!
Gosh he’s growing up so fast!
He sure has come along way since this photo was taking nearly 4 years ago. I can’t believe he’s going to school next year – GULP!
Do your kids have graduation ceremonies from preschool?
Did you attend your graduation ceremony, did I miss much?
