It's official -- we have a high schooler! CC had her "promotion ceremony" on the last day of school, and she was all smiles. She wore a dress (actually a romper, but it identifies as a dress) that she picked out at Altar'd State, which is all the rage for teen girls. She loved the dress, and woke up early to curl her hair. She was preening all day!
Grandpa and Grandma came to her ceremony too. My dad would have as well, except for the house flooding issue which has resulted in no guest room or bathroom at our house. Since there are many big end-of-year events to attend, he asked the kids which ones they thought were most important, and they picked the baseball game and the two big dance recitals.
Afterwards we hosted her close group of friends at the pool for a little party, and they had a blast. It was definitely the easiest party I've ever thrown together, so all the moms and girls agreed we should do it regularly during the summer.
All five girls are going to different high schools next year. Scarlett is going to the high school we're zoned for, that I always assumed CC would attend. Clara's family is very spontaneously moving to a different part of town this summer, so she'll be at a different high school. Patricia and Vanessa live further away, in different areas that have their own high schools. And of course, CC will be attending the fine arts magnet school that she was accepted to.
They're all promising to keep in touch, and I hope they do. They're a sweet group of girls! I'm so glad that CC had a good support group of close, supportive friends to help her through the challenging middle school years.
