Mother's Day Tea

Today was a special day. It was Mother's Day tea at Neil's preschool. I had never been to one of these before so it was a pleasant treat! The kids escorted us into the room and together we picked out a tasty plate of goodies. There were lots of selfies going on.

Once everyone had eaten, the kids sang to us. Afterwards, we got to see their special portraits that they drew. 

I absolutely loved Neil's portrait! He said, "I love my mom because she gives me butter, my beautiful mommy."  I have no idea where that came from. No, I don't regularly hand out sticks of butter to my kids. It was so sweet though. It made me laugh. He really knows how to melt my heart. What a sweet boy he is! Truly a fabulous mother's day gift!

He also painted me a flower pot that had marigolds growing in it. I'm glad I have a small picture of it because we accidentally dropped it on the way home. Ceramic doesn't do well on concrete. He was pretty sad about it. :(

We ended our little date on the playground with friends. The weather was perfect and it was so fun to spend some time with Neil at his school. Now that preschool is wrapping up, I am starting to feel nostalgic. My baby is going to kindergarten this fall! I am leaving behind this cute world of preschool forever. Part of me just doesn't want it to end. Where does all the time go? How did he get so big?
