Kindergarten Graduation is a thing?

So when Kason finished Kindergarten, he got a big hug from his teacher and a "See you next fall" from the Elementary school.  Fast forward 4 years to when Katie finishes Kindergarten and they have a big production in the High School auditorium.  Kindergarten graduation is a thing now, I guess.  Not sure I am a fan, but Katie sure did look cute in her orange cap and gown.
We got a program and everything.
The bulk of the ceremony consisted of a slideshow and sappy music about how kids should stay little for as long as possible, and reminder about how fast they are growing.  Thanks.  As if I needed more reminders that my babies are growing up.  Those damn slide shows with sentimental music get me every time.  As much as I didn't want to, the tears were flowing.  After the ceremony, we went back to the elementary school for a photo op.  This picture cracks me up for 2 reasons.  1.) Mrs Pease told the kids to just pretend to throw their caps.  Very smart.  2.) The string that held the hat on was stuck in KB's ponytail so she couldn't even hold it up all the way.  
Here is a picture of Katie with Mrs. Pease.  The woman is a saint.
Katie had such a great year in Kindergarten.  I am amazed by how much she learned.  Not only did she learn to read more words than you would even believe, she learned to tie her shoes, write her name, and maybe even to be quiet when others are talking.  That last one is debatable, however.  :)
