Be still, Gramaw's heart... that precious smile and wave, complete with a bandaided finger!

They sang through the alphabet sounds, complete with very dramatic motions...

Daniel was fascinated with his tassel and did his best to make it swing around...

Daddy Kyler capturing the moment...

After receiving his diploma from Ms. Jessica...

...she asked Daniel what he wanted to be when he grew up.

"A worker," he said, nice and loud without hesitation. Love that child! I know God has great things in store for him!

And proving he is a leader in his class, many of the children after him copied him using that same answer. 

One last song...

The Tree House PreK Graduating Class of 2023!

I got to thinking...when Daniel graduates from high school in 2036 (!!!), I'll be 79 years old....

A congratulatory hug from Mommy Kara...

Proud grandparents...Jeff and Peggy...

...and Papaw Kim and me!

Daniel has lots of people who adore him!

And of course the best part of any graduation ceremony....

The world awaits you, Daniel Evan Gray!

On to Kindergarten!
