Gifts

After graduation last week, we came home and had lunch. The girls were really wiped out so they took a quick nap. Later that afternoon, we told them we had gotten them a small graduation gift. They were thrilled, and closed their eyes while awaiting presentation of their present. Here they are with their heads down, so as not to spoil the surprise.

George has fully established himself as an equal partner. He now insists on having whatever the girls have, and he kept looking at us accusingly while they opened their gifts. His expression above seems to say, "What?! I didn't graduate so I don't get a gift????"

Although he wasn't interested in the dolls, he claimed the boxes as his own and had a good time playing with those. 

"Seriously?  Nothing for me?"

The new dolls were immediately treated to a lecture from Ms. Lauren, future teacher. 

And Dr. Gracie examined them thoroughly. 

Both dolls were declared healthy.

And they are ready to learn.
