Libbi's last day of "school" was last Friday. To celebrate the end of the school year, her little class had an ice cream party and we were all invited. Even though Laney was only a little over a week old and even though Libbi would never remember if I was there or not, I really felt like it was important to be there for her.
So, Laney and I went up to Libbi's school to show her how proud we were of all her accomplishments this year! Libbi wore her ice cream outfit especially for the occasion (thanks, Nana K!) because we all know the most important thing is to "look the part!" ;-)
The day could not have been more perfect in Libbi's eyes....she had two of the things that she loves most in the world - school and ice cream - ha! All her little friends sat around and ate ice cream with their special toppings and then they headed out to the playground.
The last time I came to Libbi's school, she was like a deer in the headlights and couldn't figure out why I was there. She made sure to let me know that I was to go, "bye-bye" - ha! This time, she reacted a little differently - and I honestly think it was because Laney was there. She was SO SO excited!! She kept turning around saying, "Hi Momma!" and "Hi Lay-lee!" every five seconds. And my word, you should have seen her on that playground. I'm afraid the teachers and other parents might think we keep her caged at home with the way she was running around. It was like she was free for the first time in years! She ran all over the place screaming and laughing without a care in the world. She would occasionally run back over to Laney and me and look in the stroller to "check" on Laney (and sometimes yell, "WAKE-UP BABY!!!") and then she'd take off again. You'll notice that she's all business in these pictures....she takes her playground time VERY seriously. :)
I am so thankful that we found out her school had an opening in the Mother's Morning Out class this past January. Libbi has loved every minute of "school" and especially her teachers. Miss Dody and Miss Angie were frequently mentioned around our house. There were many nights that she told them "nite-nite" even though they were more than likely at home in their own beds. :) Anytime we got in the car Libbi thought we were going to "COOL!!" to see "Do-deeeee" and "An-chee" ;-) It was such a blessing to know that she was being loved on by her sweet teachers while she was at school each Monday and Friday. I know she will miss school this summer (me too!!), but we are thankful that she will be back in September and will be blessed once again by teachers that love her and love Jesus!
