I had the supreme pleasure of spending a few hours this afternoon at John’s Author’s Tea. The room moms set up a lovely buffet of hot tea, iced tea, and tea snacks for the event. I received a “pass” for helping with most of it, but Mother did put together fruit kebobs for us to take. 
Each child stood before the class and audience to read four poems aloud. 
After reading a Second Grade: A to Z story that they wrote, Mrs. B passed out darling candy awards to each student. John received the “Smarties Award” for his “intelligence and hard work in all areas!” 
It was such a treat to have Mimi tag along!! (And help me get myself and my fruit to the class.) 
Attending these celebrations at school are some of my most special memories and best mommy moments. I wish they could stay little forever :-) xoxo
