Mothers Day Tea 3/22

This year Brocks Kindergarten teacher is having a baby in May, so she won't be able to spend Mother's Day with all her students. So instead of letting the sub take over that she decided to have an early Mother's Day celebration with her kids and all us moms and called it Mothers Day Tea. On Friday all the kids were asked to dress up and all the mothers were asked to arrive at school at 2pm. We lined up outside the classroom door and the kids one by one came out with a red flower and escorted us back to the classroom. We each took our seats at our children's desk and all the kids lined back up on their carpet. Brock's teacher was so sweet and as she was thanking all of us for coming she got all choked up which of course made a bunch of us cry. She is such a wonderful teacher and so proud of all her students and it really shows when she talks about them. She led them into two songs they made up about moms and I silently cried during the entire performance. The other 3 moms at my table cried also so that made me feel better! After the songs were sang, each student came to the front of the class and told us why they love their mommy's! My sweet and adorable son said "I love my mommy because she is having my baby brother!" I started crying all over again! Finally the kids were all done and they brought us our presents which was a glass jar they decorated and made into a flower pot with a flower already planted. They also each served us a plate with an assortment of fruits and sweet delights! Brock ate all mine so I'm sure it tasted wonderful. This is one day that I know I will remember forever. It was such a special performance and it meant so much to the kids! Brock talked about it for a week straight!
