Jessie's preschool graduation

It was a bittersweet thing- Jessie was graduating from Paddington Preschool.  Part of me had waited for this day for a very long time, but a bigger part of me wanted her to stay little forever.  I guess this is the way it is with your kids sometimes, you want to protect them from the cruelties of the world (or kindergarten, rather) and you feel like you can only do this when they are with you all the time.  Jessie, however, was very excited to be graduating, especially because she would be doing so with her best friend, Tayteum, and her other good buddy Kenadie. 

Graduation was held at Lee Martinez Farm in Fort Collins.

Congratulations, Miss Jess!

We were so fortunate to have found Paddington Preschool and Ms. Jeanine.  For three years each, Rian and Jessie were in her loving care.

What, doesn't everyone feed the goats in their fanciest dress and high heels?

After the ceremony, pictures and cake, we walked around the farm and saw all the animals before heading out to lunch to celebrate.  Happy Preschool Graduation, baby girl!!!
