Say it isn't so! My baby boy is now a preschool graduate and nothing is standing in between him and kindergarten. (Happy and sad tears all at the same time).
Today was his last day of school, his end of the year party, and his graduation. Some of the moms also arranged an impromptu picnic at a nearby park for right after school. Busy Busy Busy! When I asked him this morning if he was excited for his last day, he kept cheering about the party. I don't think he quite understands that he won't be going to back to that school again. I will for sure miss the routine, but I think after a week or two Luca will really start missing spending all that time with his friends. He was never one to ask me to keep him home or to be reluctant to go--I hope that attitude continues!
His party was a lot of fun! We did a carnival theme with that style of games and prizes and temporary tattoos. Thankfully it was a pretty day (though a little windy) so we got to spend time outside. Our best idea was a pillowcase sack race. Seeing them all hopping across the field by the school was hysterical! =) He was very excited to tell Oma that he won ALL THE GAMES! (Everyone got a prize for playing each of the five games).

And then, that night, **sigh** graduation. Not gonna lie, I was getting teary eyed already when the 1st year preschoolers were doing their stuff. Was it only last year that Luca was that big? Of course a third of the way through the program I got the low battery warning on my camera, but I still got some good pics and videos. Very glad that I took a picture with him and his teachers before the program though, after was a mad house! Pa stopped to get us all dinner on the way home (in the rain) to continue the celebration. I just can't believe he's gotten so big! At the end of the program the director introduced us to the class of 2029! At least that feels far away, though I'm sure I'll blink and miss all of it!
Congratulations Handsome Fella, we are so proud of you!
