Pierre Returns and Sylvia Graduates



Sylvia has graduated from maternelle!  The principal gave a lovely speech about how ready the kids were for grade one (CP) and how lucky we were to have such a great education system.  Sylvia and two of her classmates were the first to receive their diplomas.  They were congratulated for learning French and completing their kindergarten education.  The other two kids are from Denmark and Argentina.

The medals are from the arrondissement.  All of the kids also received a book: La France.  The last day of school is not until July 5th.



Look at this popular guy.  He is back from Budapest and we are all very happy.  He returned with lots of treats, paprika, a doll, and a rubic's cube!  Pierre missed graduation, but Meme was there to fill in for him.

  

Sylvia refused to pose for a photo, but she did let Meme watch her eat.





The day before graduation there was a choral performance.  Sylvia was front and centre.


Here is Lillian doing her adult imitation.  In other words, she is pretending to be me.  She is wearing black, wearing sunglasses, and carrying a cell phone.  Perfect.
