Our little graduate

Tonight was the Spring Fling show for Maddie's school. Each class got a chance to perform a song or two for the parents.

Maddie class, comprised of kindergartners and first graders, hosted the entire evening. Each student got a chance to go up and tell a little about themselves before introducing one of the younger classes to perform. Maddie introduced the Pandas class (2 year olds).

Her class also got a chance to perform one more song about books:

Bill and I were secretly teary-eyed at just these moments. I thought I was holding it together pretty well until the end of the program, when the kindergarten graduation ceremony began:

Let the flood gates open.

Seriously, though, I didn't quite embarrass myself too much with crying because I was laughing so much at the same time. As you'll notice in the videos above, Maddie ended each event with a curtsy or blowing a kiss, which had everyone laughing. Here she is afterwards with her teacher, Mrs. Lewis, whom she adores:

Maddie declared on the way home afterwards, "Today is my first day to be graduationed, Mommy!"
