Eliot's Preschool Graduation!

We've decided to put Eliot in a Pre-K/K transitional class next year.  It's really the perfect option for him since his birthday is in September and so close to the cut-off date for entering Kindergarten.  We didn't necessarily want him to repeat his preschool year and do the same activities he's done this year, but he's definitely not ready for all that Kindergarten has to offer.  His school, The Fox-Hill School, offers this wonderful program for a maximum of 10 kids--- and not only did Eliot qualify, but he got in!  It will be at a different "campus" with mostly different teachers and the program runs from 8:10-1:30 which is fantastic as far as transition for him and wonderful time-wise for me to work while he's in school.

Thus, Eliot participated in preschool graduation this year.  He looked beyond adorable in his mini cap and gown (I'll let the photos really speak for themselves!).  They each got up to get a certificate when their name was called and they sang songs and even did a dance.  I'm not saying this just because I am his mother, but Eliot surely showed the most character while doing his dance.  He took it very seriously and was nothing less than the cutest thing ever while performing!

Eliot made great strides this year at preschool.  He can now write his name all by himself and he pretends to read books.  At the beginning of the year, he couldn't care less about arts and crafts and now he LOVES arts and crafts (which, of course, makes my heart sing!).

CONGRATULATIONS, ELIOT!
