I was honored to be invited to attend the Cole Elementary First Grade Mother's Day Tea today. The first graders worked hard to make beautiful hats for their moms, clay tea cups as gifts and had a delightful program that they shared with us, followed by "freshments" (as Lucas called it.) Each child told why they love their mom. (Lucas said that I am sweet as pie and bake good stuff. Do you think the way to this kid's heart is through his stomach?) Lucas has been so excited for weeks and has been singing the M-O-T-H-E-R song all week with great gusto and expression but you wouldn't know it today. He was pretty terrified but did a good job anyway!
Here he is, reading his part.
I finally coaxed a small smile out of him.
And here is the most beautiful bonnet you have ever laid eyes on!
Awwwww! How sweet is this? I'm jealous- I don't have a pretty hat like that. :) What a big deal for a little boy to show his mommy how much he cares (even though he may not verbalize it). So thankful that he has the opportunity to have such a Godly, caring Christian Mother who is giving her ALL for him.
ReplyDeleteHis demeanor is so much better than 2 yrs ago. May God continue to work in his heart.
Love to all, Mimi & Pa
