Mother's Day Tea

Ava hosted a Mother's Day Tea for me at preschool today and it was so much fun. She had really been practicing her songs and was just as excited as me. I posted pics of her with her friend, Claire and her teachers, Ms. Kelly and Ms. Diane. I was given a beautiful picture frame she painted with a picture of her holding a sign that said "I love you, Mommy" in it. I also got a cute piece of paper that had "fill in the blanks" with Ava's comments.



Here it is:



My mom is...........15 years old

My mom is prettiest when........she's a princess

My mom loves to make......candy

My mom always says.........I like Ava

My mom is funny when she .............sings Pooh songs


I thought it was pretty cute. Also, it was very sweet considering the parent across from me got a paper saying she was 84 years old according to her son! Here is a quick video of part of their Mother's Day serenade:

Here are some pics from their last day at swimming class. They did really well and love the water. Ava just wasn't a big fan of a life jacket. It scared her a little. They both love to stand on the couch and pretend they are going to jump in the pool and sing "Alligator, Alligator, stand up tall. Alligator, Alligator, jump off the wall"




Sophie is really growing up and talking more each day. She can almost sing her ABC's all by herself and count to 10. She now calls Ava "sissy."





Ava has been practicing her dramatic skills in preparation for Drama Camp in August. I decided to definitely sign her up when she said to me last week, "Mom, can we talk about this.........I'm sixteen years old........I'm not a child anymore." After the shock wore off, I realized that was a line from The Little Mermaid.


Sophia prefers music as her fine art. In this clip she shows off her piano skills and performs a medley of her greatest hits:
