Mother’s Day Tea

For most of the time Thomas has attended his current school, I have looked forward to our turn at the Mother’s Day Tea when he was in the 4s.  I’ve heard that it’s the best part of his preschool.  So naturally, I was curious and eagerly anticipating the big event.  Obviously his 4s teachers built it up too because Thomas was equally excited about it.

Today was finally the day.  Thomas kept reminding me that I needed to be on time and that he HAD to wear his “Easter clothes.”  I told him that he’s not supposed to wear seersucker before Easter, but he insisted…only his best would do for the Mother’s Day Tea. 

When I arrived, I found the seat with the program made especially for me (by Thomas).  My seat was right in the middle!  And in the middle of the stage was a poster of “flowers” made by each student in the class saying why they each loved their mother (It says “I love my mom because:”):

Thomas said “buys me stuff when I’m good.”  Ha ha.

At first they all sat until time to introduce themselves (I will have video to share of this soon)…

And then it was time to perform several songs.  The kids were ADORABLE!

Thomas wasn’t the loudest, but he did participate with the motions and the words.  I could tell he was proud of himself and I was certainly proud of him!

This was the color song where they sang the colors in French and the partners waved the flags of their assigned colors.  Thomas and his partner (Emaline) were right in the front middle of the stage.

And then time for another song and another prop…scarves.  Too cute.

My absolute favorite part of the “show” was the final number when they danced together with their partner.  I could not believe Thomas!  I will have the video soon, but he was twisting and twirling his partner and it was so adorable I almost wanted to cry. 

This is apparently a moment between songs when the kids found something funny. 

After they finished with their “show,” it was time to sit and wait until their turn to go get there mom and escort her to her seat. 

Thomas came and walked me to my seat and here it was:

At my place was my yummy lunch, a placemat Thomas made for me, a special card he made and a tile he decorated (with a rainbow)…oh and my placecard.  It was so very sweet.    And here was the rest of the room…

The proud and silly son…

My beautiful placemat (it says “I hand you my heart.”):

The front of my card…

And the inside (it says:  There’s someone who loves you, Now who could that be? That someone who loves you, Is also called me!”).  And then he drew a picture of the two of us.  Now I must note this is the second time recently that Thomas has drawn me with brown hair.  I think I’m the only person who still thinks I am a blonde.  This was not my favorite part of the Mother’s Day Tea.  :)

Thank you Thomas for being such a sweet boy at the tea and for all of the work you put into the event.  It was so special and it was so very worth the wait!  I love you more than words can say and I am so amazed at how much you are learning as you grow!
