Mother's Day Tea

Eric's preschool just had their mother's day tea. The kids each prepared their mom a plate of goodies and then we got to eat treats together. Amy screeched like crazy unless she had a bite of my cake in her mouth, so she ate mine. I guess is tasted pretty good :) Eric's preschool teachers taught him well. He cleared my trash for me and asked if I wanted anything else. They wrote a poem for us too. It said:

My mother is the most wonderful mom in the world! She is 30 years old. Her eyes are GREEN and her hair is BROWNISH-BLACKISH. My mom's favorite food is STRAWBERRIES and her favorite thing to do is CLEAN. I like to help my mom CLEAN. My mom doesn't like to BE MAD. If I could give my mom anything in the world, I would give her A VALENTINE'S HEART. I love my mom because I JUST LOVE HER.

It is interesting to see what the kids pick up on. I had just bought like 10 lbs of strawberries the week before to make strawberry jam, so that is my favorite food. I tell the kids when they are getting out of control, "I don't want to be mad at you, so you need to calm down." And my favorite...since I have to clean up a lot, it MUST be my favorite thing to do!

Here is a video of the kids singing one of the Mother's day songs...


After the program was over, Eric asked if he could take pictures with my camera. I told him he could take a couple. We got some of the walls, floor, etc. Then the really important ones. We got several of the little girl he has a crush on and her mom. This is Mary Louise, his current love interest! The only bad comment I've ever gotten from his teachers is that he likes to show off for his "girlfriend" Funny!

I just love your kids. We'll always remember Eric for telling me that "Brudder Wyatt's teeth were yellow."

It's lucky that your favorite thing to do is clean since I'm sure you get to do it all the time! :) The best part is, he's so sincere!

I love that he just loves you, just because he loves you. That is to sweet. I hate when they need a reason to love you. They just should.

I see some familiar faces in the video. Sometimes I'm sad that Maggie didn't get to go to preschool with them. It looks like it's a great place.

He is so sweet to you! At least he was noticing things associated with you and not picking what his favorite things are.

Eric is such a little sweetie! He really does love you! And his "girlfriend" is a cutie!
