For those of you who haven't experienced Suzuki strings lessons: A "Twinkles" graduation happens when a beginning strings player is able to play 5 different variations of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" from memory and with reasonably good technique.

We also made him the same kind of smiley face cookies that Lizzy's cello teacher made for her when she did her "Twinkles" graduation. Here are a few pictures:
