Mother's Day Tea at Best Beginnings!!

[we were just about to eat our yummy strawberry shortcake that Aidan served to me!!]

On Tuesday at Best Beginnings was Mother's Tea day!! It was great!! We showed up at school at 2am and waited until our "date" escorted us to our seats. Aidan was the first and he came out being shy, and put my corsage he made on my wrist with a lot of help from me, and grabbed my hand and said "C'mon mom.." and drug me into the room.

[ Don't know how to turn the picture the correct way. (new camera) They are cowboy/cowgirls galloping in on their faithful steads!]

HE chose where we were going to sit and even pulled my chair out for me and waited until I sat down before he sat down in his chair...any coaching from his teachers?? I think maybe so!! ; )

[My cowboy Aidan was the cutest by far!!]

We waited until everyone was seated and then the kids were called one by one from one of the two teachers to go and get our food that we were going to eat at our tea. Aidan got mine and served me strawberry shortcake with a Hershey kiss on the side. It was so delicious. We also had a little Dixie cup of juice. I gave mine to Aidan because he wasn't hungry (remember he was just in the ER the night before and still wasn't 100% yet) but he was SO thirsty. I think he drank three Dixie cups full.

Next came the entertainment portion of the afternoon. The kids got up and sang 3 or so songs that were all about mom!! It was so sweet. Aidan was so sweet because he didn't sing. I think I have a pretty shy little guy on our hands. I also think it was part of him not being 100%.

[ During the silly song where he danced like crazy!!]

Once they sang their songs, they left the room so that we could see a video that his Teacher Lori had put together. It was so precious!! I would love to have a copy of the DVD!! It even had a few of us mom's crying...we blamed the allergies and all the pollen.

[My sweet date to the wonderful tea!!]

When they came in they were cowboys/girls. It was so cute They sang another song and then came and gave us their cowboy vest and horse that they made and bandanna!! We helped them take their vests off and then they went up and got their gifts for us. It was super sweet!!

[Goofy as usual!]

At Dad's night a few weeks ago, they made the corsage and a button and a card for me. I put the button on right away. It was a bunch of beads (small beads) glued to a pin. It was sweet. Aidan's card said the sweetest thing too. He thanked me for being his mom and for giving him Brookie Kathaleeny. He obviously loves his sister a lot!! That was the best part knowing that he is thankful and is happy that she is a part of our family!!

[Ok, 2 pictures of us...we had a bunch more but Aidan wouldn't smile for the camera. FINALLY I tickled him and he did. Do you see my corsage?? He made it with Daddy on Dad's night.]

We were able to do pictures with a cute backdrop after we were done with everything. His teacher, Teacher Gretchen who has been out since just after Christmas due to illness painted it for this special occasions since she couldn't be there too. We sure do miss her a lot!!

[ Oh and another highlight was to see this on the way home...he was pretty excited!!]

After we took our pictures we gathered up our stuff and his school bag and went home. We even got to see this cool tractor on the way home...he LOVES tractors so this was pretty cool!! I can't wait until the next school event!! I am so thankful that we can provide this for Aidan.
