June 13th was Olivia's last day as a preschooler. Instead of a typical graduation ceremony the Montessori School prepares the children for a Candle Walk ceremony where they pass the flame to the next child, etc. It was very beautiful! First, all the children filed in one by one, and then lined up in front of the audience and sang us a beautiful song. Next, they formed a circle taking turns with the candle. It was so breath-taking and I cried like a baby. My little baby girl is growing up and it finally hit me yesterday. I couldn't stop crying! I guess I have a million more opportunities to gush at the accomplishments my daughter and my other children make in the future. Boy, I am a sap! Anyway, here are some pictures of Olivia and her friends at the ceremony and the picnic afterward. (by the way, my flash worked for everyone's pictures, except when I was taking them of Olivia...figures!)
