My son graduated from playschool today. Really, there was an actual “graduation ceremony” for playschool! I mean, don’t get me wrong, they were super cute. I just feel like it’s a bit over the top. They do these ceremonies so often now. You may think I’m jaded because it’s my third child and it’s like “been there done that”. However, I feel pretty much the opposite of that. Everything my son accomplishes is bitter-sweet to me. It’ll be the last time I go to a cheesy playschool grad and, believe me, I know it. But, really, I think that a lot of these ceremonies are over doing it. The thing is, does it take away from the big milestones? If there’s a ceremony for everything does it start to seem common place? Like oh yah, another school thing, bla bla bla… I do believe in encouraging our children, positive reinforcement and celebrating their accomplishments day to day & yadda yadda yadda. I just wonder, if there are too many ceremonies and everything is turned into a “big thing”, does the actual definition of what constitutes a “big achievement” change? Just thoughts…he was a cutie-pie though, with his little tie and vest! (Insert “sigh” here) My kids are growing up too fast…

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
