We went over to see baby Oliver with the girls. They were so excited to have a new baby cousin. Even if all he does is look at you in baby wonder. The girls all cooed over him, called him Baby Oliver, and rubbed his head. They were beyond excited. Laurel and Dar got to hold him. That's girls for you. Melt into butter the minute a little baby is around.
It was encouraging to see how Cassie would react to a baby. She's quite the bully if she doesn't get her way, although in the last few months it has slacked off considerably. But when she saw Oliver, she was all about being near him, eventually though it wore off and she went to play off on her own. I was hoping she wouldn't be jealous.
Laurel's graduation is this week. Personally I think it is silly they have a graduation for preschoolers, but I know for Laurel it will signify the end of the school year. She's very routine oriented, and likes to have things done a certain way. It'll help her to see we are having a party for finishing preschool.
But you can't help but smile at all the squirming 4 or 5 year olds up on the stage, who have no clue what they are doing up there, looking out at the crowd of people. If you have ever seen a play or christmas musical with small kids, you know exactly what I mean. I can imagine the overenthusiastic parents now, pushing their way up front with their video cameras, pushing people aside in their "bless your heart" kind of way.
Oh yes. I love America.
