Monday and Tuesday were the awards ceremonies for the kids. I was able to attend Carter's, where he got awards for "mariner manners" and perfect attendance (yes, for his whole year of kindergarten). Last semester, very few parents attended, but this time, word got out and it was packed! I saw Carter but he didn't see me standing on the side behind a bunch of other parents. Still, I was there to cheer!
Also, Tuesday was my last day of school with students. The staff did our end of the year party as a lunch a bit after dismissal, which is perfect for the many of us who live far from the school. It was so nice to enjoy a leisurely lunch with my teacher friends!
In the days prior to the carnival, we knew Carter was eagerly anticipating the fun. He seemed to growl in his excitement, and finally we noticed he would say something about the carnival and say "meat-eater". A day later I realized that he was saying "carnivore... A meat eater" (he is really into dinosaurs). I explained the difference between carniVAL and carniVORE, but can't help but wonder what he was thinking was going to happen at school, before I explained.
I got the okay from work that I could be flexible with the work hours, since I didn't have students, and was able to help with the first part of the event. Yay!
When we got dressed for the day, Carter and I were wearing matching clothes. I said that I would go change, but Carter asked me to not change and to keep matching with him. I felt a little silly, but it was also cute that he liked it so much.
