Movin' Up

On Thursday Molly starts her second year at Via Nova - as a Lion Cub (see "Still Molly"). Here are pictures from the "Moving Up" ceremony they held for the Belugas. It was really cute: after taking turns singing songs (!) one by one Lupe presented them with a binder of their artwork, and an old Lion Cub presented them with a Lion Cub necklace in the Lion Cub room. In the third picture you can see that Molly got so excited while waiting for her turn that she could barely contain herself. Yes, she's putting her fist in her mouth to try to keep herself from running up before her name was called.

They also made the t-shirts - Molly tells me hers is a picture of a fire. The colors are great. And, in case you can't quite make out the words on the poster, Molly wants to be a Lion Cub "Because then I will be bigger than a Beluga."
