graduLation

As my class prepares for our graduation from Kindergarten, one of my students consistently calls it graduLation. 


Today my littlest youngest brother (birth order clearly doesn't predict height in our family) is graduating from high school!
I can't believe he's actually old enough to graduate; I still remember when he was teeny tiny:

 With his 18th birthday yesterday and college plans in the fall, he is definitely ready to leave high school and move on to bigger and better things. Congratulations and happy graduLation to my amazing, smart, sweet, sensitive, and quietly sarcastic little brother; I'm so proud of you!
