Anyone who has ever attended a preschool graduation knows that anything and everything tiny sized is absolutely adorable. Tiny people are the cutest. Not only did I get to attend my own daughters’ pre-K graduation ceremonies, I used to teach 4- and 5-year-olds, and preschoolers just do everything in ways that hit your heart differently.
