Oh no. Here is what I would do. When he is feeling better, I'd have a 'private' ceremony at my house, get a little cap and gown and make a certificate, take lots of pics and serve ice cream and cake. Just because he didn't get to attend the ceremony at school, doesn't mean you can't have your own!

[Queen Mum]

It's part of your child's rite of passage and you're sorry you are both missing it.

How's the kid feeling?

[Grandma Flowers]

I would be upset, too.

[MLee]

Oh I'm so sorry!!!

My dd did exactly the same thing when she was supposed to graduate from kindergarten. It made me sooo sad. We invited the grands over when she was feeling better and had her do her part (a little poem recitation and a song) and gave her the diploma, had a little party with cupcakes and took photos. For her, it was the most special graduation of all.

And, since we later started homeschooling it was a just a prelude of future graduation ceremonies - LOL!

I hope he feels better soon!!

[grifscap]

I would be very upset.

[beachlover]

awww, poor sweetie! hope he feels better soon {{{{hugs}}}}
so terrible that he has to miss his graduation! I'd be really upset too!

[zanettac]

I don't blame you for being upset!! ((HUGS))...hope he's feeling better!!

[lizziej]

I'm sorry he's sick. I hope he feels better soon. I'd be upset, too. Our school didn't really have a kindergarten graduation - he got to wear the cap and gown at his Pre-K graduation.


I like everyone's idea to do your own ceremony, and sounds like from MLee said about her daughter, Xander would feel quite special with one just for him!

[handerful]

you are not a freak! I would feel the same way! I think I was looking forward to my dd's kindergarten "performance" than she was. I would have been VERY disappointed if she/we had to miss it.


Maybe he could do his own little ceremony... make him King for the Day. it would make a cute scrap page to tell the story...

[1momma]

Oh no! I would be upset too. Hope he is feeling better soon.

[purplewhale]

awwwwwwwwwww...of COURSE you're not a freak. You're just a mom who wants something extremely special for your son. Go ahead and cry. Cry all you want. Then imagine a bunch of little cherries giving you great big HUGS and tons of kleenex. Meanwhile, make sure Xander is okay. His health is more important than any event that may come.


With love,

One little cherry with tons of hugs and lots of kleenex (-L)

I so totally understand!! It is a mommy thing! Do something nice for you and your baby.....cuddle, rest , and you go have a nice cup of tea!

[sdwhru]

That does suck! I would feel bad, too....

[steph191]

Awww...i'm sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better soon!

[tinkerbelldani]

I would be soooo upset too.
I hope he gets better soon. Maybe you can do a little special ceremony at home for him.

[Cimorosete]

Awww....poor fellow. I'm sorry you had to miss his graduation, I would be upset too.

[bluetulip]

Poor baby - I hope he gets to feeling better real soon.

[bellaconsmom]

Poor little guy! I hope he feels better soon. I'd be sad, too.

[ElsieB]

How disappointing! You have every right to be upset. I'm so sorry! I hope he's feeling better.

[Heidi1154]

Sorry to hear the little guy is sick and you both had to miss such a special day!!!
