Muffins with Mom

Today was "Muffins with Mom" at MELA. I got to sit in Lily's classroom from 8-9am and eat muffins with her and watch her play. It was so fun to watch her interact with all her classmates. Every once in awhile she would run over and hop in my lap for a couple seconds.

Here we are in the backseat on our way there - she was actually saying "mommy" when I took the picture.

We had some orange juice and she would take a sip, then say "mommy's turn" and have me take one.

It was really nice to just be able to leisurely spend time with her before going to work. I wish I could do that every morning.

I also got some sweet artwork that her teachers had helped her to make. I love little hand prints!

Before I left I picked up her first ever class picture. Poor thing - I forgot when it was picture day and she was dressed in a tank and gym shorts. They brushed her hair into a mullet, too, haha!

I had gone to talk to another mom after I left, so when I was walking to the car, I passed her class walking down the hall on their rope. I said "I love you!" and did the hand sign for it, and she did it back to me. Then her teacher said "say 'goodbye mommy'", and ALL the kids said "goodbye mommy" - haha. Then Lily shouted "MY mommy." It was really funny.

I can't wait until this weekend!
