If you’ve ever witnessed your child transition from one grade to another, you’re likely familiar with that bittersweet blend of pride and tears. Recently, actress and mom, Mia Thompson, didn’t hold back her emotions as she celebrated her daughter’s preschool graduation. In a heartfelt moment, Mia shared her experience on social media, allowing fans to feel her joy and sorrow.
Mia’s daughter, Ava, graduated from preschool, and the ceremony was as touching as any parent could imagine. She posted a video on her Instagram Story, showing her with tears streaming down her cheeks while the children sang “I’ve Got Peace Like a River.” “Don’t worry, I’m having a GREAT time at preschool graduation,” she joked. “I’m totally not a mess or anything.”
However, Mia quickly admitted the truth, exclaiming, “Okay, I was lying! Please send help!” It’s hard for any parent to watch their little ones grow up so fast, and Mia is no exception.
The couple, who also have a younger daughter named Sophie, will soon find themselves navigating another preschool graduation when Sophie reaches that milestone in a few years. Mia has always been candid about the ups and downs of parenting. From grocery shopping adorned with toddler stickers to dealing with her kids’ artistic redecorating of their home, she’s relatable and honest about the challenges of motherhood. In a previous interview, she humorously shared, “We switch kids all the time. If I’m talking to the 2½-year-old and I’m done, I’ll just say, ‘We’ve got to switch. I don’t want to talk to this kid anymore.’”
Mia also recently discussed Ava’s upcoming transition to kindergarten, saying, “Ava will be starting kindergarten next month. It’s my first time!” She expressed excitement about this new chapter, emphasizing her role in helping Ava feel comfortable in her new environment. “I’ve shown her the school and told her, ‘It’s gonna be a new school and it’s your school,’ to give her a sense of ownership,” she explained.
As they look ahead to kindergarten graduation, we can only imagine how emotional that day will be too!
