WHATEVER! The only tears Punk and Princess shed when they ended their reign tonight were fake ones. The real photo is the one where they are making a sneaky bid for freedom, trying to escape having their pictres taken (again!!!). They had so much fun together, and loved their big girls so much. The real tears didn't come until Kristen, Jenna and Liz got weepy - and then even tough guy Punk got a little sad.
As for mom and dad, we're proud of our little dude, but our tears didn't roll until until we saw the big girls give their farewell speeches. Liz and Jenna had been mom's dancers when they were about Punk & Kooka's ages. They were both at the studio the summer I brought Punk home from the hospital. Watching them grow up to be such wonderful people, and having them share this crazy ride with Punk was unbelieveably cool. And even though we started the year as strangers, we immediately fell in love with Princess Kristen. She made all of us cry with the wonderful things she said about everyone - including calling Kooka an "honorary princess" - which made Kooka's night.
So after the final coronation, we all went to the after party where we ate nachos and root beer and Punk and Princess played pool until midnight. Kooka hugged all of her princesses a thousand times, and didn't want to leave until the big girls did.
We'll post more pictues later.
