Claire and I went to the ceremony because Claire's "College Friends" are all leaving (or have left!) town. I couldn't bear to explain to her that she won't see her friends anymore. She loves them so much and I know that it will break her little heart when she realizes that they aren't coming over to play anymore. She got all dressed up and has been talking about "graduation" (despite the fact that she had no idea what that truly meant) for weeks now.
Check out the paper in her hands. She sat this morning at her little table in the playroom and decorated cards for Adam, Trevor, Lauren, and Emma. Each card had a different design and she had me write notes to each person inside. She wrote her name as best as a three year old can inside. Those cards? They are filled with a whole lot of love. She carried them from the time we got there until the very end of the ceremony, when she handed them out to her friends.
Um, is someone texting and trying to hide it with his newly-earned diploma? Yup, yup, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's going on here.
We needed to take a cookie break partway through!
So happy and so much to look forward to...yay, Adam!!
Congratulations, Adam, Trevor, Lauren and Emma! We love you!
