We were both reminiscing about that Valentine's Day a short five years ago. It was such a blessing to be in the same phase of young motherhood with our friends at Keesler. We can both remember so vividly planning that Valentine's Day playdate with our friends so we'd have something Valentine-ish to do with our little ones that day. After our playdate, we all walked home, fed our kiddos lunch, and put them down for naps. Ahh, the days of only having one kid!!! We blinked, and now Angela & I are both COVERED UP in Valentine parties.
Shelby's school was hosting Muffins for Moms on the morning of Valentine's Day. Shelby opted to forgo the school event & have a Mommy-daughter breakfast date at our fave donut shop! We were so thankful that Derek was able to take the morning off to make this happen!!
The moms were all invited to spend the first 30 minutes of the day in their kiddos' classrooms. I think this was my favorite part of Valentine's Day! I volunteer in Shelby's classroom every week so I get to see her interact in her class on a regular basis, but this was extra-special. Her teacher had a fun math game set up for the kids to play with their moms, and then when we finished Shelby read to me for a few minutes. My friend Crystal snapped this picture of us without me realizing it, and I'm so glad she did! It was such a fun morning with my Shelby-girl!
Then it was time to take this girl to her VERY FIRST Valentine Exchange at preschool! She was super pumped about it!!!
12:00-2:30 was madness for us! I picked up Hadley from preschool at 12, and we walked in the door at 12:24. We had exactly 36 minutes for me to nurse Brady, get lunch made, eat lunch, and get to Shelby's class for her party starting at 1:00. Thankfully, we made it without any trouble & lots of fun was had!
Valentine's Day wore poor Brady out! When we got home from Shelby's party, he took a 3 hour nap!! And if I'm being honest, it wore me out too! Ha!
And since there aren't any pictures of sweet Brady in this post, I'll leave you with this video of him belling laughing the other night before bed. We randomly discovered that he thinks the /s/ sound is hysterical, ha!
