Today was kindergarten graduation in Santa Ana. At Casa de Esperanza, we had five that attended kindergarten and two that graduated. The kids were suppose to wear their school uniforms. After wearing them for a year, they were a bit dingy. Last night Elvia took all the white shirts and soaked them in bleach. She got here early this morning so she could make sure everything on every single uniform was perfect. When I walked in this morning, Elvia was sewing buttons on Daniela's shirt. I was standing there so I could take pictures of them. Elvia walked out of the girls bedroom. She had a comb in one hand and had Cindy's hand in the other. Cindy was smiling, but Elvia was radiant. Elvia dampened Cindy's hair and began to fix away. Cindy was excited, but Elvia did not stop until she had that hair just the way she wanted it. Cindy was just as cute as she could be when Elvia finished. Then Elvia went and got Monica and came in leading her by the hand. I was thinking there is to way to tame Monica's hair, not even for kindergarten graduation. It took a lot of water, gel and hairspray, but she tamed Monica's hair and had it in dogears. Monica was just as cute as Cindy. Due to the time it took for Monica's hair, someone else had to fix Daniela's. The boys were much easier. Everyone, boys and girls, got to wear cologne. They were so excited and smelled so good. After a few quick pictures, Karen and Dorian left with the 5 kids. Of course, like any good mommy, Karen had her camera and I am sure she took lots of pictures.
