Mother's Day Tea

DJ goes to preschool a couple days a week and it's such a great place. He's made lots of friends and I have made some friends with the moms. One tradition the school has is a Mother's Day Tea. The kids learn some songs, which they perform for us, and then we get to have juice and cookies. It was very cute!

The morning was a little chaotic, as DJ had to be at school at 9:30, I dropped him off, rushed home to shower and change (I dropped him off in sweats, lazy me), and rush back to the school by 11.

The kids get to pick jobs everyday and DJ chose to be the flag holder, he always picks that job. We have tried to talk him into doing other things, like the weather or being line leader, but no, he wants to be flag holder. I would like to say it's because he is just that patriotic, but the reality is, he wants to stand up in the center of the room and have everyone stare at him. That's just DJ. At the beginning of their program yesterday, he got to stand up in front of all his class and all the Mom's and hold the flag. I have to say, all bias aside, he was the star performer. He sang all the words to every song, did all the right hand motions. All the kids did a great job, and while I wish DJ's mom could be there, I was honored to play pseudo-mom and DJ seemed very happy to have me there.

My big task for the next week is trying to summon some inner creativity and make scrapbook pages for each of his teachers. One of the other Mom's decided that instead of just giving gift cards like they usually do, we should make each teacher a scrapbook instead. I'm really not very good with that sort of thing, but I'm going to try my best. It's just one page for each teacher, it can't be that hard, right?!
