You woke up early this morning and practiced sight words with Grandma Noot during breakfast. We even got to school a few minutes early & took some pictures.
This afternoon was the 1st Quarter Awards for K-2. I didn’t ask you about it because I wanted to surprise you by attending with Grandma Weezie & Ms. Sandy. We were seated in the front row. When you walked in the cafeteria, you were looking around and the look on your face when you saw us was priceless!!!!! You were awarded the Principal’s Excellent Effort Award for your continuous effort, perseverance and can do attitude this quarter at school. Only 2 kids from each class were chosen. Ms. Wolleon gave me a heads up that she nominated you. We were all so proud of you. Daddy was so sad he couldn’t be there since he was still in Orlando, but I took video to send to him! I hope you always apply yourself in this manner at school and in life – you will be absolutely unstoppable! After the ceremony, we went to Pop Kraft to get a popsicle then dropped Grandma Weezie off at my office and grab our stuff.
We headed to gymnastics. You saw a girl you knew from Bay Haven who is a 4th grader. You were showing her your journal and all the entries you had, including about today’s awards & Grandma Noot’s sleepovers this week! Once class got started you were super into it today. When we finished, you wanted to go in with Baby Olivia’s class to help the teacher for a few minutes. We stayed the entire class!!! The two of you are so cute together!
I was tired and wanted to head home, but you wanted to stop at Mi Pueblo to celebrate & you said “I want to spend time with just you Mama.” We did, you were chatty with the staff and super adorable. You signed your name on the check and wrote Gracias. We headed home & saw Mr. Franklin walking by. You ran out to talk to him and tell him all about what you have been up to. You also shared the beginning of your Christmas list with him advising that you want a “real Ruldolph the red nose reindeer, a lizard, a frog and a basset puppy that will follow me around.” When I told you earlier today that the reindeer is too big for the new house, you told me we would just get rid of him when he got big. We had a chat about how and why that’s not cool! Grandma Noot came home while we were chatting so we all headed in together. We brushed teeth and climbed in bed. You were snoring before I could even read a book to you!
I love you so much!
