It was a bitter-sweet day for me today. It was Sweetpea's last day of Kindergarten... I am very proud of her, but at the same time, she's not supposed to be that grown up.
I just can't believe how fast time has flown. I didn't have an issue with her entering Pre-K or Kindergarten but for some reason knowing she's entering the summer before 1st grade is hitting me. She's growing up and I can't stop it...
It was a fun day though. It was an early release day and hubby and I got to hang around and spend the day with Sweetpea and her class. They started the day with a special "Open Court" ceremony where they buried a time capsule that will be dug up in 20 years. It was just very cool to see.
From there they went on to the end-of-the-year carnival the PE team puts on every year. That was fun - until Sweetpea got wacked in the head with a plastic baseball bat! I took her up to the office and got some ice and, of course, that solved the problem right away.
Next, on to the Luau Party that the Kindergarten team puts on for the kids every year. The kids. There were games, limbo, hula hoops, bubbles, water balloons, the playground to play on and plenty of food!
During the opening "speech" one of the teachers did before the luau, we learned that the Dunedin Elementary Kindergarten kids scored the highest in testing in the ENTIRE County! Way to go Eagles!!
The best part of the day for Sweetpea was the surprise limo ride at the end of the day! Her "boyfriend's" brother got Principal's List all year and his grandparents got him a limo for 2 hours as a "way to go". Both boys were told they could invite a friend to go with them and, of course, Sweetpea was the one chosen. What a scene it started at the school when that limo drove up! The Principal and teachers wanted to ride too LOL There's nothing like leaving school in a limo and riding to the beach just to get ice cream! :)
It was such a wonderful day! We came home and took a much-needed nap - and then got ready to have dinner with my parents who wanted to take their granddaughter out to celebrate her graduation from Kindergarten.
Let the summer begin!
