Olivia's graduation from Rocking Horse and last day of school

It was super bittersweet going to Olivia's graduation from Rocking Horse. She started there as a small tiny 5 month baby that I entrusted them to take care of and now she is a reading and writing almost 5 year old graduating from preschool! What made it even more bittersweet was that all of Olivia's friends graduating with her had been with her most of the time since she was in the infant room and they all grew up together. In many ways they are as close as siblings. I also enjoyed getting to know the staff of Rocking Horse and all the parents of Olivia's friends over the years. The night before Olivia's graduation, I made a video/photo montage of her over the last 5 years. I stayed up really late making the video but it turned out really cute.

Olivia's last day of school was on Thursday and she had her last dance class first thing in the morning. I was able to get some cute last day of school pictures before we had to rush off to dance class. After that, her teachers wanted her to come to school for a few hours to wrap stuff up. Then my mom picked her up and they spent the afternoon together.

We went back to Olivia's school at 6:00 PM for her graduation. The kids got dressed up in caps and gowns which was really cute. Ms. Lincoln and teacher Maria had a really cute ceremony where the kids said what they were most excited about for going to their new schools sang a song and said a cute poem. The kids got to go up on stage and get their diplomas even. Afterwards we got to get yummy pie (everyone brought one) as it was part of the poem they recited. It was a super fun graduation day but I can't believe my baby girl is going off to kindergarten.
