Maddy Graduates from Preschool!

The end of May marked another graduation for the Conley family - Maddy graduated from preschool and was excited to move to greener pastures.

After a nice concert put on by the children, the teachers had a nice ceremony for the graduating kids. In Finland, it is customary for children to wear these white and black hats on graduation. For high school graduation, I believe, Finnish kids are given real hats (ie not made out of paper) which are kept for all eternity and brought out every year during Vappu drinking festivities.

A really nice way to celebrate Maddy's completion. Here are a few photos of my crazy girl!

 

Several months later, one of my classmates saw this collage of wacky photos and decided to recreate his own version. Enjoy!

 

 

 Very proud of my girl for the inquisitive, curious, independent soul that she is. A fantastic and caring older sister, and a really good kid.
