Graduation

One down, two to go - or one down, one to go. It depends on how you look at it. One child has finished with his childhood, two are still my babies - or one graduation finished, and one yet to sit through. (A perk of twins is sometimes you get those good kinds of two-fers!)


JB's graduation was...well, a graduation. The speeches were nice (DA's boyfriend's sister was valedictorian so she did one). Everyone behaved (no bare butts). JB looked handsome and happy. It was LONG. There were about 500 graduates. At one point Pops let me know how many minutes until JB would be called based on the data he had collected, i.e. number of names called per minute and number of names left to go. At least it kept him entertained.


The bottom line is - we're done. I got a little choked up when they started playing "Pomp and Circumstance", but overall did better than at my students' fifth grade completion ceremony (but I was thinking of JB then, too). Now, on to the next step...Wednesday he heads to San Marcos overnight to register for next year! Now, THAT'S  going to be an adventure.
