It's no secret that High School Musical is a favorite all the way around at our house. Violet, especially, loves to sing all the songs from 1, 2 and 3, and when she realized they were going to wear graduation robes "like Troy and Gabriella!", her excitement crystallized. Even though V & W are children 3 & 4 for us, this was our first preschool graduation, and they totally rocked it.
It was royalty themed, and they walked in to "A Whole New World" as William and Violet waved to their admirers. William was not a big fan of his crown, and the gum that Violet was chewing fell out of her mouth as she bounced onto stage. They said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang several songs, and Violet needed a bathroom break from stage before they were all whisked away to put on their gear.
Both twins strode across the stage as their names were called, smiling all the way.
We are so very proud of what they have accomplished in the past two years. Both William and Violet have come so far! Also, if you have never attended a graduation ceremony for kids with developmental delays, let me just tell you that it is special. So many of these kids have overcome far more than most of us will ever deal with. It was precious and confirmation of the fact that we really are "All in This Together" as Violet keeps singing at me. With motions.
We had our own little crowd, and so many of the staff that have loved our children so well. Special shout out to the teachers and therapists who have contributed so much to us all!
It was a beautiful way to mark the end (almost) of an era. I'm so thankful for the choice we made to do preschool, and it has set them up for kindergarten so well! And seeing them in their graduation regalia was just about the cutest thing ever.
