Gradua . . . huh?

Allie's last day of first grade is tomorrow, though she's going to spend it on a field trip to the zoo. We were on our way to school the other morning when I asked her if she remembered her last day of kindergarten last year at this time. She said, yes, I was sad. But I remember that Mrs. Grady made us feel special at our graduation. I wonder what Mrs. Mace is going to do for graduation.

It was distressing to have to tell her that for completing first grade, she gets nada. Nothing. She gets to come back next year and the year after that and so on for 7 more years until she gets a little graduation ceremony again.

She took it well.
