The pandemic has caused a lot of celebrations to be put on hold or cancelled. I had no expectation that anything Thing 1 got to do in her 3rd grade year would happen for Thing 2. It was sad to think about, but par for the course considering where we are.
Way back when, Thing 1 had a Hollywood Party at the end of 3rd grade. The red carpet was rolled out, the kids received individual awards, and all of the parents were the paparazzi. The kids sent in baby pictures, and all of the students had to guess who was who. Sidebar…I despise this game! As a person who went to a private school where no one looked like me, this isn’t really fair…like…AT ALL. My kids, while in public school, are in the same position. #OneDay I digress. Back to the memory…I remember the teacher being so emotional because she truly loved each of her students and was sad to see them go.
By God’s grace, Thing 2 was able to have her turn. And no scaling back…she got the real deal too! She wasn’t thrilled to hear us cheering her on as they did their walk around the school, but oh well. Welcome to the part of your life where we are merely embarrassments as we strive to let you know just how loved you are on every occasion…especially the public ones!
Here are a few memories of the day… #SniffSniff
You will always be our star, kid! #ShineBright
