Goodbye Ms Grace - Hello Mummy Grace

I bid my last day at school on Friday and it was very heartwarming! I can't believe that I am starting my maternity leave now and will be away from school for quite some time. I have been prepping my children about me missing in action for quite a while and why Ms Grace has to stop working and last week's farewell went really great.

All of them were aware that I am having a baby since they always see me and my tummy getting bigger everyday. They have been so sweet asking me every single day about how i feel or how the baby feels. They would always me ask if the baby is happy of if she is dancing!:)

As the day went on last Friday, i had no idea, my 2 teaching assistants were planning something. I did not realise it because I was busy seeing parents, saying thank you's and all that. To my surprise, the children came back from the soft playroom with a cake and poster board with their drawings of me and my little one!

I was really happy and I told them my baby is dancing with joy upon seeing the cake and their artwork!They all laughed! I was clueless the whole time and I was not expecting my teaching assistants to do something like that and even prompt the kids to help out :)

(This particular one is hilarious - i have been noticing this little girl for the past few days seating beside me and touching my "starting to swell" feet - did not realise that the sight of my feet will "haunt" her )

(Children are very perceptive, most of the drawing they did were either a picture of me with a bulging belly or a protruding belly button.)

(This cracked me up when i first saw it!)

( and this one is just too sweet not to post :)

I will miss this group of children definitely! and before they left they asked me if i would bring my baby to school so they could play with her. Bless them!
