Spring Tea

I had no idea what today was going to be about. Some sort of celebration at school called "Spring Tea". The children had been practicing for about a month for it and we even went out and got Ryan a special outfit and made cookies. It was AMAZING! When Jimmie and I got there, two of the older boys were handing out programs and were sitting the families. Each family had their own table with name tags and flowers. They were set up beautifully. Once all the families were seated, Pat thanked those families who were graduating and gave a little speech. Then the children entered, two by two, holding hands. They went and joined Pat in the circle on the floor. Once all the children were in, they began singing songs. They sang 6 songs and even had a small dance they did. Yep, not a dry eye watching. I was so proud of Ryan. He wasn't intimated by all the people at all. He wasn't feeling well (he has bronchitis) so he wasn't real bubbly buy that is ok. He looked a little nervous but gave me a smile each time our eyes met. When the songs were done, the children went to the table one by one and carried tea cups to each parent and then one for themselves. They each then got a plate of cookies and joined their families sitting down. Each family had their own little tea time. It was absolutely wonderful. It was so much fun. Once we were done, he was ready to go home. He was as pale as a ghost and you could tell he was done. I am so very proud of my little man. What a wonderful treat we had today.

We are still up in the air about Karate. We were going to visit a new school this coming Wednesday. However, with him not feeling well, I think we will push it back a week. He asks about Karate every single day and even told us he is not sick of it. We are working on the options. I just hope we figure it out sooner than later.
