Today at school I joined a group of Moms to help put on the preschool's first ever sports day. We had such fun planning the event! All of the Moms showed up dressed up in goofy sports gear, I borrowed a one piece zip-up velour J. Lo leisure suit from my friend Lu which will go down in history as the best sports day costumes ever!
One of the Moms, Amanda, made posters for each station that were in our theme colours of red, blue, green, yellow and orange. The kids took turns rotating around each station until they had finished each activity.
We made ribbons with each child's name on them and when they had completed a station they got a matching sticker on their ribbon.
The kids had so much fun, in fact we Moms may have had more fun than the kids, it was a great morning.
Sydney's preschool teacher Jen used to be a BC Lions cheerleader years ago and dug out her beloved pom poms today so that she and Carmen could come to sports day and cheer all the kids on. It was hillarious!
We ended the day with a race where the kids ran through a finish line made of streamers and then presented each child with a gold medal around their neck.
What a fun and exciting morning it was!
Last night all of the Moms from preschool met at the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company and treated the preschool teachers, Jen and Carmen to dinner out. We had such fun visiting together and chatting about all kinds of things besides our children!
Jen and Carmen are such wonderful, special teachers. I feel so fortunate to have them in my life but even more so to have them in Sydney's life. They have enriched her first schooling experience beyond words. We are going to miss them like crazy over the summer!
This afternoon was Sydney's last swimming lesson for the season. She has so enjoyed this round of lessons shared with her buddy Emma.
She came home with a ribbon and report card today which she was very proud of!
We certainly had a sporty day today!
