My baby graduated last night!

Omolayo is officially a Kindergartner! She graduated from pre-school yesterday! I was so proud. Never mind the fact that my ghetto ass was 30 minutes late! I was trying to cook for the folks that would be coming by after the graduation. We invited like 6 people and there was a mini after party at our house.
I went to work at about 7 am, Omolayo’s teacher called me at about noon to remind me that the ceremony was starting at 6pm sharp and she did not want me making a grand entrance at 6:45, I told he I’d be there (I know her ass did no call all he parents with that crap) I left work a 3 pm. Quick stop at Wal-Mart to get a few things for the party then I rushed home and made jollof rice, curry chicken and fried-stewed chicken. I quickly got dressed and Oyinade helped me get Omolayo dressed, I pulled her hair in a bun and we left for the graduation.
Lo and behold I got there at about 6:35pm and Omolayo’s teacher gave me “the look”
They quickly changed Omolayo into her cap and gown and she took her seat with the rest of the kids. I was beaming with joy! I held back my tears and constantly reminded myself that it was PRESCHOOL!!! She looked so beautiful and graceful and you could tell she was proud of herself and she felt special having all her favorite people around her.
So… to her aunties and uncles (Denrele, Dare, Remi, Oyinade, Seyi and Funmi) that were able to take the time on a weekday to be there…we thank you. Omolayo was called to the podium to receive an award for “Most Sophisticated” along with her Diploma from Preschool. My little diva is SOPHISTICATED…oh lawdy!
We headed home and friends joined us for a little supper and loud conversation.
Thanks for coming ( Dayo, Dupe, Tuoyo, Kiwi, Dayo Boy, Femi, Seyi, Remi, Denrele, Oyinade and Dare) we look forward to seeing you at all her other graduations to come.
And to my MINI-ME Omolayo... I am so proud of you boo!!!! I pray that God continues to shine His light on you and orders your step. I am honored God chose me to be your mum. Smooches!!
