Umbrella Parade

Just like last year, Ella had her Winter Celebration and Umbrella Parade today at preschool. She was super excited to have hot cocoa with marshmallows for a snack, wear her rubber boots and have her Mommy and Daddy and sister come watch her march around the block for half an hour. She sang the "Raindrops fall with a pitter, patter, pit..." song, twirled her umbrella and waved to the parent and grandparent audience. No real raindrops today, but a little imagination in the sunshine almost made it cuter.

Oh how Delia longs to be a part of preschool! I keep telling her, "Next year!" and she responds by counting to three and telling me that's how old she needs to be. It is honestly stranger for me to think about Delia in preschool than Ella in kindergarten next year!
