Friday was Graduation Day at Morningstar . They do a family evening with food, music, and games for all the children and their families to enjoy. After the kids have had a chance to play a bit and everyone has eaten, the children put on a show for the families.
Morningstar has rooms for all ages from infant to kindergarten. Each "class" had a song prepared and then the Developmental Kindergarten and Private Kindergarten had a graduation ceremony. Each child got to walk out in their graduation gown and get their diploma from the teachers. Brenden wasn't interested in joining his class. His teacher, Miss Melissa, had him go up with her in hopes he would join, but Brenden was more interested in finding out what Jake was up to and running around some more. Jake was his usual self during the class song. He didn't know all of the words or gestures so he would make funny faces or watch his friends during part of the performance. Here's a video from towards the end:
For the Graduation ceremony, Jake decided to add some theatrics by refusing to get ready with his class because he didn't want to wear the gown. After Chris talked with him a bit and one of his teachers cracked a joke Jake was back in the spirit of things and ready to graduate. The evening was a lot of fun and it was really nice to be able to watch the boys interact with all of their friends. Jake will stay at Morningstar through the summer until he starts Kindergarten at Dexter in the fall. This was Brenden's first year in Pre-school so he will have one more year in Miss Melissa's class before he moves to DK with Miss Heather.
We were able to get some pictures of Jake during the performance and Graduation ceremony, but Brenden managed to escape the camera.
