[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do what you want and ignore the naysayers.  I wouldn't go all out but if you want to buy your kid a $6 bouquet of flowers at Safeway AND a $3 ice cream cone, go for it.  It's ok to celebrate small accomplishments and there is no harm in making your child feel special.  It may not be a big deal to adults but it can be for the kids--this is their first big ceremony and that's special to a 5 year old.  [/quote]

Exactly this.  It is a fun celebration for them and is a milestone to a 5 year old.  They are heading off to a new school with new kids and new teachers.  Why not have fun and celebrate with flowers/balloons/ice cream, etc.?  No one is suggesting a graduation party with gifts (which would clearly be excessive).  And of course, no one needs a flower or balloon.  But it is fun to celebrate the small moments and the big ones.  My dd just graduated college but I remember her pre-school graduation.  The kids sang a few songs, got a certificate and celebrated with their families.  We gave her a flower AND had a picnic lunch with other families.[/quote]

+1. Life is short and it’s been a rough year.  Your kid won’t be spoiled by receiving a bouquet of flowers.[/quote]
