I should’ve saved my little brag about Laela from yesterday for today, because she celebrated her last day of preschool this morning!
There is a wind up next week, but today was the FINAL day where each kid got to stand up from, receive a certificate, say what they wanted to be when they grow up, and sing a few songs as a group. It was SO cute!!
Brady took a couple of hours away from work to join the fun, and helped me wrangle the little boys. Too bad Dekker couldn’t come.
My mom also came, but of course I took pictures before she arrived 🙁 Sorry, mom!
Laela felt like a million bucks at the end of the ceremony, and it showed. She had told everyone she wants to be a babysitter when she grows up (that’s handy to know!) and sang the songs better than I’ve ever seen her do! She did awesome!
Straight away afterwards, there was ice cream to be had by all, so we did that as a family, and then Brady waited in line with her to have her “official” grad photo taken!! 💕
She’s been such a surprise to me this year, more shy and reserved than I anticipated, but today, she was MY Laela. The one I know so much better than the shy version she portrays at preschool. She was amped and energetic and silly. She ran circles around the gym with her friends, posed, talked to everyone who talked to her, and even told Rowan he was “rad.” She felt awesome, and so did I, seeing her heart so happy!
Once again, Miss Laela, I am SO proud of you!!! What a pleasure it is to be your mommy!!
Also, you can babysit as soon as the government says its allowed. As SOON as.
