Graduation Day

Today Ava graduated from pre-school... again.

I say "again" as Ava also had a graduation from pre-school just before we left Australia last year. This time though it was an official graduation with her whole class.

Ava's class made special graduation t-shirts to wear for their big day and performed a few songs for family and friends before receiving their certificates. It was all very cute.

"I am a promise with a capital P..."

Ava will miss her pre-school friends and her teachers dearly. She'll be back at Summer school part time in a few weeks but not all of her friends will be attending. I think we'll be planning lots of play dates over the coming months!

One last play with friends before Summer vacation

Lola loves Ava's teacher and had to get into a photo too - although she was a little distracted by a balloon :)

As a graduation present we gave Ava a new charm for her Pandora bracelet; a smart little owl on a text book. Perfect for graduation.

Summer vacation is now officially upon us. Eleven weeks of madness before Kindergarten starts!
