On the last day of school, we attended Ben’s preschool graduation. Both sets of grandparents were there to celebrate with Ben. Before heading to the school, we took a few end of the year photos.
When we arrived at school, I dropped Ben off at his classroom while Jonathan and girls went to the chapel to meet up with our parents. I got a bit teary eyed as he walked in the last time. We’ve been dropping off a child at Stepping Stones for the last five years and while I’m looking forward to next year, it felt like the end of a chapter for our family.
For the ceremony, the kids walked in holding hands. He was with his friend, Lucy.
Mrs. Hofstetter welcomed us all
Ben sang all his songs
The kids spelled “C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R” as part of one of their songs. He was ready to go with his R.
Ben confidently went up to receive his diploma. We weren’t sure he would actually go up and get it, but we practiced at home. And during the course of practicing, I learned that Ben knows the last name of everyone of his classmates.
Singing God Bless America
After that, we shared a picnic potluck lunch.
Ben & Mrs. Hofstetter – Ben just loved his teacher
We headed to his classroom for one last look. He wanted a few pics with his favorite places.
And we ended up bringing home the boomslang that his class made. It’s now hanging in his room.

Congratulations, Benjamin! We are so proud of you!
