The Graduate

Like so many other proud parents and grandparents, the Pres and I thought nothing of driving the hour and a half to attend a forty five minute graduation ceremony. After all, it was a graduation from Pre K for our youngest grand daughter. 

 Yes, time has flown and Mia, now 4 1/2, joined the ranks like many before her and begins Kindergarten in September!  When I baby sat for her last week and brought up the topic of her graduation, she said a few interesting things.

"Nana, are you coming to my graduation?"

"Yes, Mia, I am."

"Nana, is Grandpa Joe coming?"

"Do you want him to come?"

"Yes, please," followed by a few seconds of silence.  " Nana, Moon and Copper can't come because they would want to get on stage with me and run around like crazy."

"Don't worry. We'll leave the dogs home, Mia."

"Nana, after we graduate, we all get to have punch and cookies! "

Oh, my, this is going to be wonderful Mia! I can hardly wait.  Are you going to sing?"

"Oh, Nana, we're singing a whole bunch of songs.  I'm singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with Delaney and Rocco is singing Little Boy Blue with Hunter.

"Mia, this sounds like so much fun."

It was...:)

Especially when I saw her "reading" her diploma!!!!

Oh, one more thing.  

Mia and Rocco have been BFFs since they met!

Last week when we were with my son who lives in a town bordering the one in which I was raised, we noticed how much much it's changed. Showing my son some of the places that are memorable to me was kind f fun actually.

Woodbury, CT

He wondered what the big deal about this old place was. When I told him that it meant nothing, he asked, "Then why the picture, Mom?"

The Pres responded before I could...he does that a lot...LOL!!!

"It's for her blog."

Little does he know though....it's for sharing with YOU and everyone at
