Making the Rounds

Dex is going to be a wonderful cocktail party guest someday - he excelled at working the crowd during the pre-K "Shake Hands with Friends" finale. Definitely NOT a wallflower.

Happy Dance

The children performed a lot of songs during the graduation ceremony 

but my favorite was the performance of Pharrell's "Happy".

Just like his Daddy, Dexy laid it down during the solo!

"Where Are the Stairs?"

Dex was a little confused but he made it!

The (Pre-K) Graduate

Each child was announced and walked from the back room, under the arch, down the aisle, and over to the stairs to the stage. Announcing...Dexter!

Graduation Decorations

The children in Dexy's pre-K made many of the graduation ceremony decorations.

Others were made by the teachers, celebrating and commemorating each child's achievement.

 Can you tell which silhouette is Dexter's?

Low-Tech Linked In

Before Dexy's graduation ceremony Ben and I had Dex make up a bunch of cards with his name and phone number that he could pass out to friends so they could stay in touch over the summer. He did a great job cutting the paper into small rectangles and writing his name and number onto about 15 "business cards". We had him put the cards into his pants pocket but they didn't stay there for long!

As soon as Dex handed his thank you cards to his teachers, he started finding friends and giving them his card. We overheard him saying, "This is my phone number so we can have play dates in the summer!"





It was adorable to see Dexter doing such a great job socially and really cute to see the kids receiving the cards excitedly run to their parents and make sure they kept it safe for future reference.
