A late post - Eamon's Preschool Graduation
A few weeks ago, Eamon reached a major milestone in his short life: he graduated from preschool. Now, I know some preschools have their kids wear caps and gowns, and they give the occasion an atmosphere of importance seen at high school and college graduations. In fact, one family I know had a graduation party for their 5-year old, renting a hall, hiring a caterer, and inviting 200 people.
Well, this may come as a surprise, but we didn't take Eamon's preschool graduation quite so seriously. Luckily, neither did his preschool. They called it a "crossing the bridge" ceremony rather than a graduation, and the only attire stipulation was that the kids dress in their favorite outfit.
For Eamon, this meant his Darth Vader costume.
He was actually looking pretty fierce, until his teachers gave him a gold top hat to wear during the ceremony. It was all a bit Sith Lord meets "A Chorus Line," but Eamon was happy, and it provided us with good blackmail photographs for his teen years. :)

Sith Lord meets Chorus Line! Great description. It was a fun ceremony and now our little bucko is a full-fledged kindergartener. Light saber and all.
Very stylish, indeed.
I LOVE it! Very stylish!
I love the wear-your-favorite-clothes idea. How fun!
How funny. Was he the only one in costume?
I agree that Sith Lord/Chorus Line comment says it all! Hilarious! Congrats Eamon!
Very sweet. Ours was called a "moving up" ceremony.
I love the favorite outfit idea, and your son is WAY cool! :)
Classic! We both loved the photos - pure hilarity! See you guys soon!

Congrats Eamon! Darth Vader rocks and your hat was very menacing. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Oh my gosh! How cute!

That is too cute. I was thinking he was a magician! Wow, I can't imagine renting a place and making such a big deal of a preschool graduation. That's funny.
That is FANTASTIC!
They are as cute as I remember. Congratulations Eamon!!
BTW, Anton and Alina loved the pictures. They seemed to think that a Darth Vader costume and a gold hat was a perfect outfit for preschool graduation. :)
