he loves her to 100

i am so grateful to report that i have been super busy with my etsy orders.  thank you to all of you out there who are trusting me with your parties.  
as the school year was winding down i  really wanted to do something nice for jack's preschool teachers.  with some help from a friend we put together a special gift for them.
let me set the preschool scene:

it's september, he has just turned 4.  we help him put on his backpack and walk him into his new class.  jack has never been to preschool, daycare and rarely has had a babysitter.  he knows no other children.  i have no idea what he's thinking but i can sense that he's nervous.  i fight back my tears as i help him put his things in his cubby.  he's unsure of what to do,  when his new teacher takes his little hand and helps him choose a book.  i remind his other teacher about his epi-pen and how it's in his backpack, this time my hand was held.  she looked into my teary eyes and told me she would take care of him.  with a quick hug we left.

a few months ago he said, "mommy, i love mrs. sherwood to 100."  i told him that i loved her and mrs. comer to 100 as well.  how could you not love these women who are loving him so well during the day? 

so as a little thank you to them for loving all of our children we  made them flowers.  i adapted this from  family fun magazine.  all you need is a potted plant, paper flowers, wooden dowels, hot glue gun and gift cards.
















each child wrote his/her name on a flower, and i attached that and a gift card to each wooden stick

   graduation was a wonderful night.  he was so proud, not nearly as proud as his mama.  yes, i cried and he's not even going to kindergarten.  since he will be turning 5 after the new school year begins we're letting him go to the other preschool class.  i told you i loved that place.  thank you again mrs. sherwood and mrs. comer for loving, teaching and inspiring jack.
