Today was the Valentines party at Gabbie's school. It was her first "school party", and she was SO excited. We sat down three times this week so she could write out valentines for each of the kids in her class, I laid out a pink and red outfit for her to wear, and she even got to wear a little body spray this morning so she could smell extra "Valentine-y".
When we picked her up from daycare, I noticed that her backpack had a lot of treats and little valentines cards in it. We got home and sorted out all of her swag. Cards, stickers, lollipops, mini candy bars... It's the stuff of a 5 year old's dream. Then I saw it - a little box of Russell Stover chocolates. Not the usual classroom variety, but a 3 piece box with a heart taped to it. "To: Gabbie From: Jake".
Awwww. ❤️
Her buddy from school and the bus, her friend who came to her birthday party last month, had brought her a little box of chocolates.
It warmed my momma heart to see this, but it also made me realize how quickly she's growing. Wasn't it just a few days ago that I dressed her in a ladybug-themed Valentine outfit, at the ripe old age of 1 month?
In a blink, she's growing.
