Happy Preschool Graduation to Cayman

Our nephew, Cayman, graduated from preschool last week. The kids were cute, showing off all the songs they learned throughout the year and really put on a good show. I love how their personalities come out in things like this - I could already pick out the Class Clown, Miss Shy, and Mr. Cool Dude and they aren't even in Kindergarten yet.

Here's a pic of the proud graduate

Riley wasn't super excited about the graduation itself and was kind of confused why they weren't singing the right words to the songs (Mama's Little Baby Loves Shortening was really a song about opposites and Riley thought that was crazy). She was way more excited about going to Cousin Cayman's house and eating cake. She wasn't quite sure why their weren't any candles though, so do you know what her nice Aunt Angie did........brought out the candles and of course they had to light them twice so Cayman and Riley each had a turn blowing them out.

Riley sure was proud of her cousin and excited to get to him once the ceremony was over!

**And do you know what - even though Riley didn't get a graduation certificate like Cayman, you couldn't fool her into thinking she wasn't old enough for preschool yet........wait for it..........because "I'm big enough, I'm 2 1/2"

Because I'm 2 1/2

This is one of Riley's favorite sayings lately, "because I'm 2 1/2." Of course like any two year old "hang on" and "NO, I can do it" are right up there, but they aren't quite as cute in my mind as the fact that she thinks she can do so many things because, why else, she's 2 1/2.

Riley, wow I didn't know you could jump so high........"because I'm 2 1/2"

Riley how did you learn how to draw circles so well....."because I'm 2 1/2"

Can you hop on one foot........"yes, because I'm 2 1/2"

Can I help you........"No I big enough, I'm 2 1/2"

Shucks - she can even get out of daddy's handcuffs all by herself....because she's "2 1/2"

My girl is slightly independent and I love it, I love that she catches on to things SO quickly, I love that she wants to be a big girl-but still wants to cuddle too, I guess I love her because she's her :)
