preschool advancement

Oliver's preschool had a graduation ceremony for all of the kids, whether they were finishing preschool or not (Oliver still has one more year). Oliver stood with all the kids to sing the songs, but refused to sing. He also refused to come to the front to receive his certificate when his name was called. Poor kid does not like big crowds and new situations. He did not want to have his picture taken either. He did like the cupcakes at the end though. It was exhausting to keep Simon happy (and in one spot) for the long ceremony. I always breathe a sigh of relief when I can get that kid back in his car seat where he can't escape. 

Oliver's teacher, Ms. Jennifer, was amazing. She was so kind and really helped Oliver improve his writing.
