Parades Galore...

Sophie marched in the Jr Rose Parade this year with her school band and Nalah and I had a great time at the parade together. We made it with just barely enough time to see Sophie march and pick Solomon up from school.Smarter parents pulled their kids out for the afternoon, I didn't even think of that. I guess I like to live dangerously. 

This was also the week of the Storybook Parade at my Son's school. This is our 8th and final year. So bittersweet, I always loved this sweet parade. The children dress up as a favorite character from a book and Solomon decided to dress up as Horton from the Dr Seuss book. Nalah wore her lamb costume that I made for her for Halloween and marched in the parade too, she was pretty pumped up even though she only made it a few blocks, she really wanted to be part of things. So sweet. Sophie and her band class marched in this parade as well and provided great tunes such as the "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. It was fun to have them both in the parade again this year.

Only four more school days to go.We have a very busy week ahead.

                            Nalah caught that t-shirt from a t-shirt gun they fired off from across the street. She was pretty happy about it and had to wear it immediately.

                                                     So sweet,waving at the parade.

A day at Sollie's school

Once a month at Sollie's school parents sign up to bring the snack for the class and have the opportunity to spend the day at school with their child, today was our turn. I was a bit  worried how this was going to work out with Nalah along for the ride but it worked out great. She was in awe of the kids and didn't make a peep the whole time, I was impressed and relieved (during the tour we took this summer before we enrolled Solomon we actually had to leave early because she was screaming, glad this worked out better).

It was fun to see Solomon in action at school. I really enjoyed seeing how he interacted with the other kids and his teachers. We had a fun day and it was beautiful outside.

I keep thinking back to Sollie calling it "his school"  when he was a little babe when we would walk past and see other kids playing. It made me smile.
