Jackson graduated from Toddler Class yesterday and is now on his way to preschool. Here are some pictures of him getting his diploma, the successful graduate with mommy & daddy, and his wonderful teachers, Auntie Tami and Auntie Baki. These women were so wonderful. We were very fortunate to have them caring for little Jackson Dylan.
Thoughts on the Big Day:
Jackson: "I'm no longer a Tiny Tiny. I'm a Big Bigs!"
Judith: We got to the graduation ceremony just in time, it only lasted about 4 1/2 minutes. Jackson grabbed his "diploma" and raced over to Mommy and Daddy for his plumeria lei. My favorite part though came a little later, when Jackson presented each of his teachers a vase full of roses with a thank you card. He was so proud and shy at the same time. Both teachers were obviously touched, I think I even saw a tear or two in Baki's eyes. There were certainly a few in mine.
Anthony: It' a little comical to have a "toddler graduation" but it was very sweet. The class more or less made their way through the song, "Silppery Fish", then Auntie Tami handed out the diplomas. Jackson started school when he was 18 months old. At one time he was the youngest child at Hawaii Montessori School. He actually had to have an interview at 18 months to get in ... "Master Jackson ... we don't see a lot of experience on your resume. Can you explain the gap?" "Well ... I spent about 9 months in the womb, then for the last 18 months I've been pretty involved with growing and exploring, and of course, I've spent a lot of time filling diapers." :-)
