Today was my nursery school graduation day. I was quite excited and nervous about it.
I usually don’t do very well with public events and crowds, so it was a toss up on how I would do. Well, at least I would look good doing it.
It was a rainy day so I had to be careful to stay dry on our way to school. My raingear kept me dry.
We got there and I was ushered to a waiting room with my graduating classmates to await our moment. There were some nerves, but my classmates and I have been preparing for this day for quite a while.
There were a lot of decorations in the school that Mommy and Daddy enjoyed looking at.
Then it was time for our entrance. Despite all the preparation, I was not feeling particularly happy about the moment. I was in a bit of a mood and although I did what I was supposed to do, I did not do it very willingly or very well. I was obviously not in a great mood when we made our entrance.
Then after sitting down I was distracted by something with my socks the whole time. I can’t say for sure what it was, I just wasn’t feeling it.
Even during our opening graduation song, I was distracted by my socks. It is a shame. I had been practicing the song for weeks and I had gotten really good at it. My teachers had been raving about how well I sang to Mommy and Daddy. It’s too bad that I wasn’t able to show them.
When it was time for diplomas I was still very distracted by my socks. Yeah, I realize it is a bit rude, but I just wasn’t feeling it today.
Even when it was my own time to get my diploma, I was still distracted.
Near the end of the graduation ceremony Mommy and Daddy finally caught my eye and I was able show a bit of a smile.
Before I knew it the ceremony was over. It was weird though. Even though we were now graduated, we would still be back at school on Monday until the end of the month. So it wasn’t necessarily goodbye.
I was a in a much better mood once the ceremony finished. I was just happy to be back with Mommy and Daddy.
After the graduation ceremony we were taking a bunch of pictures, and I was okay when it was just me, Mommy and Daddy, but I started to get in a mood when my friends started to ask to take pictures. I guess I am still not good in large crowds. It was okay for a bit but then I started to be mean and not only refuse to take pictures with my friends but I started to be nasty to them. It was definitely time to leave.
While we headed home I was acting very selfish and wanted to be carried, but Daddy was very upset with the way I treated my friends and didn’t want me to continue to be selfish. I wouldn’t listen. So he pulled me to the side of the sidewalk and had to talk to me about my behavior. I was very resistant at first and cried and talked back a lot, but I eventually started to really think about my actions. I finally started listening to what Daddy was saying and in tears promised to be better. We walked the rest of the way home in near silence. It was not the ideal end to a less than ideal graduation day.
The rest of the day was okay, but not necessarily great. I still had a lot to think about. My actions today were not the best. But I was still able to have some fun playing with Daddy and we kind of made up as time passed.
By the way, I stayed in my graduation outfit all day by choice. I really liked how dapper I looked.
