Happy Valentine’s Day
Yesterday, Ashlyn had a mini potluck party to celebrate Valentine’s Day at the child care facility. It was held in the late afternoon, after their nap time. When I got there, the little tables were set up with pink table covers, plates, and napkins with hearts. All the kids were sitting in a circle, waiting for their parents to come.
Kids were wearing hats made of of paper plates, obviously it’s one of their craft projects in class, and they also made a treasure box, too. Kids brought the Valentine’s cards and they were all put together in a basket. I prepared the little treat bags for the kids. Ms. Parwin asked the kid, one by one, handing out their cards/treats to their friends in class. Ashlyn was a bit shy when she was called. Ms. Parwin helped her to hand out the bags to her friends.
They also made something for their parent(s). A heart shaped bag with their hand prints and a note attached to it. I think you better see it yourself to get a better idea. As Ashlyn brought it over to me, my heart just melted. Then she said, “Mama, you prepared the treats for me and my friends!” You could tell she was very happy and her eyes sparkled.
Ashlyn didn’t want to go, she said to me, “it’s a party, we haven’t had food yet! why leave so soon?” So we stayed a little while more, she had some cookies, brownies, and milk, and she took home the cupcake with pink toppings on it.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
