Kate's school held their first annual Grandparent (and Special Friends) Day. Kate was super lucky because she had representation from MiMi and Papa as well as Grandma.
The event was from 8:30am to 11:30am and included a singing introduction and prayer time. Then the grandparents got to meet Kate's teacher Miss Cox and visit her classroom. Then they got to do arts and crafts and then a presentation with cookies and punch. Since not everyone in Kate's class can read with ease yet, her class didn't read their presentation but just told their special guests how much they loved them. It was nice to hear what the different children call their grandparents. I grew up pretty traditional. I called my Grandma and Grandpa - Grandma and Grandpa as did Justin. Even though I had two grandmas and two grandpas I didn't differentiate between them. Everyone knew which grandparent I was talking about and if there was any doubt I would always say Grandma Irene or Grandma Marek or Grandpa Sam or Grandpa Cricket. So I listened today as the kids had NaNa and PoPo and MiMi and Papi..it was pretty cool. Then it came Kate's turn and she got a tad bashful. I looked at her from the second row and gave her a big smile and tried to mouth ' I LOVE YOU MIMI AND PAPA AND GRANDMA'....but when she finally spoke she said 'Love You Mommy'.....What can I say....I guess I'm the apple of her eye just like she is mine.
We love you MiMi, PaPa and Grandma and we appreciate you sharing the day with our sweet Kate.
