Week of the Young Child

Nate & Lila's school celebrates Week of the Young Child each year in April. They have lots of fun activities - Pajama Day, Crazy Hair Day, Carnival Day.


Nate's first WOTYC in 2008...


And this year - brings a tear to my eye!

The week is kicked off by a parade. Scott has attended every year and even though it wasn't convenient for him to go on Monday, I know he wouldn't have missed seeing both of our kids "marching" in the parade.

The kids make t-shirts and this year the theme was Eric Carle books. Lila's class did The Hungry Caterpillar (her hands were the butterflies wings - so cute) and Nate's class did The Tiny Seed (and he made his very own shirt!). The pictures were from our little point & shoot so they aren't the greatest but it captures the moment!


I'm not sure what the hats were all about, but I know the kids were excited to wear them!


Here's a short video of our Tiny Seed marching in the parade. I love to see him with his classmates! Yes, it is sideways - I'm not talented enough to turn it the right way. So just turn your head:)

How fun! They are so cute! I love when they do special things at school and we get to see them. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

I love the parade; I think we all should have a parade, so cute! Love the shirts too! Abatha: I'll have to show you how to rotate your video when Lila feels better. LOL
