5.22.14: Graduation from Bears

Today was a very exciting day for the Daphne, Stella and Fiona - they graduated from their Bears class (and thus their preschool).  Next stop:  Kindergarten.

The girls' best friends at school:  Ariadne, Summer, Stella, Fiona, Daphne

The Bear teachers:
Eve
Peggy
Daniela
Tina
Two proud mama moments occurred at graduation.

1. The kids all walked outside alphabetically by first name.  Stella was second to last and her dear friend Summer was last.  She told me in the morning that Summer didn't want to be last so the two of them made a plan to walk together holding hands - that way they were last together.

2. Each child who was graduating held a microphone and stated their name and school they would be attending.  Apparently Daphne, Stella and Fiona made a plan to all go up to the microphone together but then say their own name and school. Fiona got shy when she was supposed to say her name and school even after Daphne and Stella tried to cheer her on, so Daphne grabbed the microphone, wrapped her arm around Fiona and shared Fiona's name and school.

Both adorable...both videotaped...both priceless.  I'm not sure how the girls grew up this fast, but they are some pretty amazing little people and I can't wait to see watch them grow.
