School Mother’s Day Celebration Anecdotes
The school had Mother’s Day celebrations all this week. They spread them out so if you have children in multiple classes you can go to more than one.
James’ was Tuesday. All the parents were waiting in the foyer and the teacher came out to tell us the children were lined up and perfectly silent so could we please tip-toe in. We all file into the classroom and there are the students, 3-5 years old, lined up ready to sing. The teacher turns to them and praises them for being able to wait silently for all the mothers to come in and at that exact moment James pipes up with, “Hi, Mama!”
Fiona’s was Thursday. Again, the mothers filed into the classroom where adorable children were neatly standing in three lines, ready to sing their rehearsed songs. At the end of one song, just as they were all done, Fiona sneezed. It was a very cute, classic “Ah-choo” sneeze and all the mothers’ cooed at her. So she did it again and looked up for her reaction. Four times.
Later one mother, who had a camera, asked if she were shy in front of the camera. I managed not to snort when I said, “no.”
Stumble it!

Too cute! That question made me giggle.

It’s always best not to snort when speaking with other mothers.
Sometimes, when I call Reid’s name, she stops what she is doing, turns to me and says, “cheese”, and then returns to whatever she had been doing. I don’t ask her to say “cheese” but I do take the occasional photo, too ;+)
