Today, our oldest Nicole graduated from Pre - K. We are super proud of the fact that she is the first member of the family to recieve her Pre - K degree!!! When I asked her what her career plans were now that she graduated, she simply said "to go to Mcdonalds everytime!" Sounds like shes on the right track to me.
They had a big ceromony for the kids with caps and gowns and everything. Sadly, I had a meeting that I could not get out of (believe me I tried), so I didnt get to go. Nicole's Mommy and her Tio and Tia got to cheer her on though. So in honor of her special day, and because President Obama couldnt make it, I wrote her a Commencement Address.. I hope you enjoy it.
Good Afternoon Toddlers, Parents, Teachers, and Lunch Ladies. I am honored to speak to you on such a wonderful day, Pre K graduation 2009!! Im so happy for you students you've worked so hard and should be so proud of yourselves!! I have no doubt that you will be the future leaders of the playground, the lunch room and someday the world!! Furthermo.. Ah.. Timmy.. please dont eat that son! Could someone get Timmy in row two a kleenex please?
As you set out for Kinder I challenge you to keep up the hard work. For the change will not be easy. Gone will be naptime, believe me you will miss it later. The days will be longer, because you will have so much to learn and do. I challenge you to reach for the sky, to eat your veggies, and to listen to your parents. Be kind to everyone, but dont talk too much in class.
Well in conclusion, I wish you Luck Love and Happiness, and am looking foward to the great things you will do. Please study hard and go as far as you can in school, because this world is gonna need you smart kids to fix us! So Learn, Grow, and try not to eat too much Glue!
Thank You
Seriously though, I so proud of my little girl!! But I am also scared to death about how fast she is growing up!
Due to technical issues , Adriana was unable to get any good pictures of the ceremony.
Houston we have a problem!!
Congrats Nicole . . . . now it is on to bigger and better things . . . first kindergarten
ReplyDelete. . . .then the oval office! By the way the not eating glue advice is very good . . . but you should take the glue rub it in the palms of her hands then wait for it to dry. Once it is dry you can peel it off and it looks like you are peeling off your skin . . .it sounds a little gross . . .but trust me it is very cool!
Yay Nicole!!! That's too bad you couldn't make it but you definitely made up for it in your speech.
ReplyDeleteI love Adriana's picture from the ceremony!
Thanks dudes!!! By the way Jen.. after the blue gets hard and you peel it off - is when you get the best flavor!
ReplyDeleteblue is code for glue apparently
