Today the Babby’s school held a Parade of Seasons. A couple of weeks ago a homework sheet went home where each student would decide which season they would like to be part of and what they would like to be to represent that season. The Babby decided he would like to be a Popsicle and that made him part of the Summer parade.
The weeks leading up to the parade have been exciting for him. This last weekend we made his costume together. He even painted it himself with some paint that i infused mandarin scented oil into. “Now everyone will think I am really a Popsicle because I even smell like one”.
This morning he couldn’t wait to put his costume on. When he got to school he made all his friends smell it.
I waited in the Library along with the Goggy, the Nani and all the other Parents. Then we heard the sound of kindergartners gushing into the library. The parade had started and they all marched through with pride and smiles all over. It was just about the cutest sight. Then I saw the Babby. He was at the front of his season, holding the summer sign. I was so proud. Infact I am still feeling really good for him, as I know he must be so excited to be the summer line leader.
At the end I said to a fellow parent “isn’t it amazing how a little construction paper, cardboard and paint can turn into such magic when your 5.”
