In a lengthy Instagram update, Busy Philipps celebrated her daughter Birdie Silverstein's graduation from a Swedish boarding school.

The Freaks and Geeks star wrote, "i don't really know how exactly to put into words how proud i am of Birdie. i mean- i get that we're all proud of our kids all the time, yes. But to have a kid like Birdie is definitely something extra(which i mean in all the ways but especially the best ways). She has always been her own very unique person with exactly her own ideas- like for instance- going to high school at a boarding school in Sweden, a country we have no real familial ties to but she was adamant was the right thing for her (maybe in large part thanks to a certain netflix series?👀👑)."

"These last three years have been challenging in ways we couldn't possibly have ever imagined but she did it! She made it through and stayed, even when i think most kids- oh my god ANYONE would have thrown in the towel and just gone home. And today our brilliant Bird graduated! 🎉," she continued, "To know Birdie is to be in constant awe of her and i can't wait to see where she takes us next."
