Cora is a Preschool Graduate!

It happened.  Last week I went to my very very last preschool graduation ceremony.  

It was a beautiful day, and the poor little kids were kind of staring into the sun.  They were good sports and gave us some squinty smiles.  

Cora has been with such a fun group of friends:

She is good buddies with pretty much everyone in her class, which has been awesome.  She loves to have play dates with all of the girls in her class.  (Don't tell her I told you, but she also seems to have a little puppy love crush on one particular boy that she has play dates with pretty often.  Miss Sue, her awesome teacher, told me that she has caught them holding hands under the table while they are coloring on more than one occasion.  Ruh-roh.)

The kids sang us some of the songs they learned in preschool this year, and then Miss Sue presented each child with their diploma and told us a little bit about them.   She told us what their favorite food is, what their favorite part of preschool was, and what they want to be when they grow up.  It is always fun to hear what everyone wants to be.  One little girl wanted to be a butterfly when she grew up.  More than one little boy wanted to grow up to be superheroes.

Cora was one of the last kids.  That cement stage she was sitting on started to get a little uncomfortable, and she shifted her position a little.

I don't think that was supposed to be part of the show.  Hmmmm...maybe some leggings would have been a good idea.  Finally it was Cora's turn:

Here is what we got to hear about Cora:

Favorite food:  Donuts, specifically donuts with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
Favorite colors:  Red and blue (What?  Her favorite colors have always been pink and purple.  I have no idea why she said red and blue except maybe one particular boy also listed these as his favorite colors.)
Favorite things at preschool:  Coloring, show and tell, play time and treasure time.
When she grows up she wants to be....a Mom and a doctor and have lots of money.

Nice.  No butterflies or superheroes?  Not for Cora.  Just money.  Lots of it.

Here is Cora and Miss Sue:

Cora is really going to miss going to Sue's!  Cora can't bear the thought of never going to Sue's again, and asked me if she could go over sometimes "just to play."  Cora is a little sad about being all done with preschool, but she is really excited for kindergarten.

*sigh*

Did that go by way too fast, or is it just me?
