Preschool Graduation Part Deux
congratulations, graduation, preschool, squishy 0Tiny Tassels and Big Laughs: Nia Renae's Preschool Graduation
0
Today, a star graduated from preschool—and no, I’m not talking about a future Harvard alum. I’m talking about The Squish, the sparkly-sneakered, giggle-powered tornado of joy who proudly walked across the cafeteria stage like it was a Broadway stage. That’s right: Preschool Graduation Day—a.k.a. the cutest cap-and-gown event you’ve ever seen! 🎓
Of course, this wasn’t just any graduate. Squishy Renae has already made a name for herself among her peers and teachers as the Class Clown and Miss Congeniality. The crown fits perfectly—right over her multi-colored beads in her hair (which she wore rainbow on purpose, I’m sure since it is her favorite color).
While the other little chickies were going on and on about their gifts and friendship, she added her own remix—complete with jazz hands, silly faces, and one always-present stretching tongue sticking out that I think made even her own self giggle. 🤪😜
She accepted her “diploma” with all the seriousness of a stand-up comic receiving an Emmy. She held it up proudly for all to see. She grinned from ear to ear before a thumbs up to her PaPa. The crowd (a.k.a. doting grandparents and two extremely proud aunties) went wild. 🗣️🫶🏿👏🏿
We couldn’t be prouder. Her joy is contagious, her comedic timing impeccable, and if they gave out superlatives in preschool, she’d win Most Likely to Have Her Own Netflix Special by Kindergarten. Seriously.
Today reminded me that life is better when we don’t take it too seriously—and sometimes, the best way to mark a milestone is with laughter and a few funny picture faces with some of our favorite people on earth.
Congratulations, little grad. You’ve already mastered the ABCs—and the art of keeping us all smiling.
Cue the confetti and juice boxes!

Big Sissy's Birthday
#equestrian #birthday #siblings #bigsis #uhoh 0
Last week, we celebrated big sis Mila's birthday at Cedar Springs Equestrian Center. Nia Renae got to ride a horse all by herself and she got to ride with the birthday girl.
Some of the crew in the beginning. Pictures from left to right: Tony (Mimi's dad), Hazel Wazel (MiMi's friend that Nia stole 😹), Calynn! (MiMi's friend Nia is sure to steal next 🤣😹), Uncle Cai Cai and cousin Levi, Fiona (Mimi's little sister and Nia's big sister - Nia also stole her. Wait a minute, I'm starting to notice a pattern here... 🤔), Nia Renae aka The Squishy, MiMi and PaPa. NaNa took the picture, but she's also pretty short so she may not have shown up in the picture anyways 😹🤣. #ShotsFired #shorty
The horses were so pretty and the weather was as amazing! 
The Squish...Squishing 🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️😹
Getting the pony ready for Squishy's first ride. 
The horses were so unbothered by us. 🤣
