Some pictures from my daughter's kindergarten graduation

[NewJeffCT]

Since my thread on flowers yesterday generated 70 responses... We had perfect weather yesterday - sunny and mid 70s with very little humidity. These pics were taken by my mom, so none with the flowers I bought.

Outside at the graduation:




The two male teachers


Before the graduation:

1. Have you purchased a shotgun yet?

Because that is one beautiful little girl. Absolutely darling. I love her eyelet dress. TM wore an eyelet dress to graduation. So pretty.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Thanks

She already has like 4 or 5 "boyfriends" and one boy who she says she is going to marry.

The dress was in a clearance rack somewhere, so I'm pretty sure we paid under $10 for it, too.

2. Clever-looking tike! Did you get her the flowers?

[NewJeffCT]

3. Yes

I bought her a mixed bouquet of flowers.

15. I'm going to post a pic of my nine year old when I get home tonight.

Just to compare that impish smile in your penultimate picture to hers. Very familiar!

Great pics, lots of personality, btw.

5. can i steal her? i want a little a baby girl so much.

and she seems quite perfect

[NewJeffCT]

7. you are welcome to babysit the next time we visit NYC

I have been trying to teach her that sometimes a man can marry a man, and a woman can marry a woman.

10. Stop trying

to abduct children. :spank:

[NewJeffCT]

12. hmm, maybe I'll change my mind on that babysitting offer

:P

6. Your daughter is beautiful.

My daughter graduated from Kindergarten yesterday, also.

I cannot believe my daughter is going to be a First grader!!

[NewJeffCT]

8. Congrats to your daughter, too

It will be a big change for my daughter, since she was in a private all-day kindergarten this year.

[bigwillq]

9. Wow, she is beautiful.

What lovely pics. :) :hi:

Where are the flowers? :shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

11. They're on my daughter's bureau

She was running around too much last night to carry the flowers around too much. And, luckily my daughter looks a lot more like my wife than me

[NewEnglandGirl]

13. She is absolutely

adorable. You must be a very proud Dad.:)

[NewJeffCT]

14. thanks

she gets that from her mom

[Eurobabe]

16. Aww, she is adorable, but did you give her the Obama

prep talk, that she has many years of school ahead? ;)

Congrats to her, and to you. I bet you can't believe she is in kindergarten already. My youngest just got her masters.

They grow up really fast, keep taking LOTS of pictures (and movies.)

[NewJeffCT]

17. I'm just happy

that she is happy most of the time.

[LeftyMom]

18. LeftyKid thinks she's beautiful. Maybe you should get a gun.

Or house with a basement that locks from the outside. :D

[NewJeffCT]

19. Maybe a barbed wire fence

on the perimeter of our lawn...

[LeftyMom]

20. Between the guard towers.

Times like these I'm so glad I have a boy. :D

[applegrove]

21. What a cute little kid. I cannot believe they have graduation gowns for tots!

[NewJeffCT]

24. Back in the Dark Ages

My mom told me I had graduation from nursery school (preschool)

[applegrove]

29. We so didn't do that where I am from in Canada. Not even in highschool did we put on the tunics for

graduation.

[hippywife]

22. Beautiful little girl.

I love the picture of them all holding hands. That is so sweet and almost makes me want to still believe there is hope for the world. Almost. :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

26. It was a very nice and quick ceremony

You can't really drag things out with 5 & 6 year olds...

Plus, both the main teachers are leaving the school.

[AwakeAtLast]

23. WMUette graduated Kindergarten, too!

I have pics but they are still on the camera. She didn't get the gown, but they had paper hats - still cute!

Your pics are great! :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

27. Congrats

Each kid in my daughter's class made a little sign and had to announce what they liked most about kindergarten.

[My Good Babushka]

25. She's so cute

I love the picture of her in the chair. It would make a fantastic portrait.
I have two boys, but no little girl to put in pretty dresses! I'm jealous.

[NewJeffCT]

28. well, she's certainly a girlie-girl when it comes to clothes

When she was 2 1/2, we went to Florida, but realized after we got there that we forgot her sandals... so, I went out to buy some for her and came back a little while later and gave her the shoe box, which she opened up, and she screamed "new shoes, new shoes!" like she had won the Showcase on the Price is Right.

[tigereye]

30. aw, she's adorable...

that's nice.

First grade coming up, eh?

[momto3]

31. Your daughter is beautiful.

My son "graduated" from preschool last week. They grow up too fast!
