Mother's Day Tea.

Jared is bringing me tea.

Jared handed me a rose after he sang to me.

Here is the plate Jared fixed for me.

He's in the very back in the blue shirt, singing directly to me!

I just came back from the neatest little tea party Jared's class put on for us. We all got invitations about two weeks ago, to attend Mother's Day tea time in Jared's classroom at 10:30. My friend Jaime down the street did me a favor by watching Jade so I could have Jared all to myself. When I walked in his class, he was so excited to see me! He grabbed me by the hand and said "THERE you are, FINALLY!" and pulled me to his desk. I sat down with the other mothers where a personalized place mat and bookmark adorned each place setting. Jared drew a picture of me on my placemat with red flowers in my hair. When all the mothers were seated, the kids took their places at the front of the class and sang to us. One of the songs was titled "You are my mother"and was sung to the tune of "You are my sunshine".

You are my mother, my important mother.

You make me happy when I feel blue. But, remember, if I disobey you,

Just please don't take my scooter away!

You are my mother, my important mother,

You make me happy when I feel blue.

I think you're special, and I love you!

So, I have this flower for you!

You are my mother, my important mother.

You make me happy when I feel blue.

I think you're pretty,

and I have some muffins for you.

You are my mother, my important mother.

You make me happy when I feel blue.

I want to tell you how much I love you,

So please enjoy your Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

At one point during the song, I moved to get a better picture. Jared lost sight of me for a second, and I could see his eyes searching for me. I waved to him, and once he spotted me he never took his eyes off me. He was singing those words directly to me, and I'm a little embarrassed to say I got a little teary-eyed.

After the song, we were all served muffins, strawberries, iced tea, lemonade, cheese, and crackers. It was so yummy! I could tell Jared was really hungry so I shared my plate with him. He leaned in close to me and I put my arm around him, and we ate together. After everything was over, Jared really didn't want me to leave until he saw it was almost lunchtime! So, I did finally leave. It really was the sweetest thing ever. I'll never forget our tea time together!
