Tuesday, Zoe had her official Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony at her school. There was a lively music presentation, a slide show, and many, many pictures taken by all parents in attendence. Unfortunately for Zoe, her mom takes really crappy pictures. I’m going to call around to see if anyone else took any better shots of my kid. Ridiculous. Also… I never clean off my memory card in the camera. So when I get to a big event — like my daughter’s graduation — I always encounter the “Memory Card Full” message flashing on the screen. And there I am clearing off pictures from our Disneyland vacation from 5 months ago, swearing under my breath, while she does cute stuff that I’m totally missing.
Here is a crappy shot of her in her mortarboard cap thingy.
Yeah, that’s where all of that tuition money goes. Caps and gowns for 6 year olds. But man, it’s stinkin cute. And where did the last year go? I wasn’t even finished being freaked out that my baby is IN kindergarten, and now she’s DONE with kindergarten. I can’t keep up. My brain is slow. I should probably start calling around for wedding venues now… just so this mental lag doesn’t screw things up 15 or 20 years from now.
But the ceremony was fabulous. School is finished. The graduate is doing well. She’s planning to do some backpacking through Europe this summer before starting first grade in the fall. Also, all kinds of shinanigans are planned for Cabo next month. The bikinis and beer bongs are packed.
Mama ain’t ready.

Oh wow suzanne! She is absolutely adorable. Makes you feel old though doesn’t it….they grow so fast. My dausghter, Alanis, just turned 8 in March and I’m wondering how the years flew by so fast. Anyway please tell the new grad I said Congratulations!

Okay, first CONGRATULATIONS to the graduate. She looks stunningly brilliant, totally ready to tackle first grade (if not beer bongs).
Second, duh me. I haven’t been checking in on you (and haven’t mastered the reader thing still) and whaddya know, here you are. I was going to send a little “How’s it going on your break?” note today.
Sorry to be so lame. Carry on; I’ll check back everyday now.
