Tea with Mummy

Last Friday, I was checking my boy's comm book from school and saw an invitation to mummies to have tea session with their kids on this afternoon. And it stated that there will be a short performance by our kids. I wasted no time in taking a snapshot of the form and watsapp my superior asking to take half day leave. I wouldn't want to miss out on such moments with my boy.

Finally! Today is the day. The mummies were invited to the music room and the teachers brought the little ones in, class by class. It's always such a cute sight to see the little ones holding hands and walking in an orderly manner.

The toddlers were the first to perform so my boy stood at the performing area with his sulking face. I have no idea why such an expression though. He saw me and I was expecting him to run towards me and cry. But there he stood and nope, he did not burst into tears. "Well done my little boy!" I thought. So he must be ready to perform for the audience then. I was wrong again. When the music came on, he stood there and stared blankly. Actually there was only one boy from his class who danced to the tune. The rest of the toddlers just stood still at their position.

There stood my boy looking at me. I was expecting him burst into tears and ran towards me.

After the first song, he ran towards me and clung onto me like a koala baby. They were supposed to perform another segment but he refused to let go of me. Well, I guess I was prepared for his reaction though delayed

The teachers have put in effort to get the little ones to do appreciation tokens for their mummies and to get them involved in the preparations of the snacks that were served after the performance.

Erm, as usual, I forgotten to take pictures of the food spread before they were snapped up. Here's a picture with half-filled snacks. The cookies and cornflakes tarts were prepared by the little ones. I wasn't hungry but I ate one cookie and cornflake tarts upon hearing that the little ones were involved in the preps. Well, it's my baby's efforts so must appreciate :)

Obviously he was more interested in the tea break than the performance. I guess that explained the sulking face?

I just have to take selfie with him. It's my first tea session with my littlest after all!

More selfies! Though he is more interested in the cake more than anything else

Guess what he is munching on next

This fussy boy was picking out all the raisins from the cornflake tarts and popping them into his mouth. No prizes for guessing right on who ate up all the cornflakes.

It was a simple tea session with my boy but it was the best tea party that I have ever attended. I really appreciate the efforts put in by the school to organise this appreciation party. It has been a very heartwarming session spent with my boy. From the expressions of the many mummies present there, I'm very certain that they had a great bonding time with their little ones too.

The artwork that was made by my boy for me!

His little palm print! With a sweet message and a photo of just the 2 of us!

This lovely piece of creation was from my firstborn! She couldn't contain her excitement and had to hand the card to me the moment she saw me when I fetched her from school. Just too precious!

And she proudly told me that she did the cover yesterday and had to wait for the paint to dry before she personally wrote those message for me in the card. I can feel my tears welling up in my eyes just by looking at the card.

I am just so glad that I took leave to spend the noon with my kids. Totally worth it and loving every moment. Motherhood is such a rewarding journey! Happy Mummy's Day to every mother out there!
