Today was Sydney's last day of preschool for the year. Her teachers made today extra special by having a 'pancake and pajama' day. All of the kids wore their pajamas and they made a big batch of pancakes for the kids and parents to share. It was such a special time and such a nice treat this morning!
It was so cute watching all the kids come to class in their PJ's! Ariella's Mom brought in some special cupcakes today to celebrate her birthday that is happening this summer. Lots of reasons to celebrate today!
The kids had the chance to play for one last time in the beautiful, new playground that was just built this year.
At the very end of class all the kids gathered around for a "Goodbye Circle." Sydney's teachers, Helen and Rania, brought back characters that they had used throughout the year to say goodbye to the kids. They ended by singing a special goodbye song to the kids which they choked out through tears. Every Mom had tears streaming down their faces as we thought about our little babies and how much bigger they were now and how sad it was that they weren't going to be in class together any more!
Sydney gave Helen and Rania each a hand painted card and chocolate apple lollipop today to thank them for such a fantastic school year!
Helen and Rania gave each child a special gift, a laminated picture of the kids in the class with a little caption about each child and what they loved doing in class. It is so special and is something that we will treasure forever!
Tonight my cousin Mel drown down from Squamish to babysit for us, and Paul and I headed the Night at the Aquarium. This annual event is a charity fund raiser for the Vancouver aquarium, which Sydney and I love so much! Our friends Sarah and Mike invited us to join them and we had such a great time eating amazing food provided by some of the city's best restaurants, enjoying the live and silent auctions and a wealth of entertainment, including some incredibly dressed ladies serving food! It was such an enjoyable evening and so nice to spend a bit of time on my own with Paul!
It was a big day! Lots going on, but so much fun!
