In Honduras, Mother's Day is probably the biggest holiday. All the schools have a huge celebration, with games and food. Last Friday I went to the one at Teleton and Karen went to the one in the kindergarten. Then on Saturday, Karen went with the elementary kids to the one at the school.
Rosy's school tries to have their celebrations at different times from the other schools so that parents that have a child in Manos Felices and in regular school can attend both. That celebration was today.
Rosy had to be at school an hour later today. We decided not to take her to the bus stop, just to take her to school. We let the school know that yesterday. Rosy was so confused this morning. She did not really understand why we didn't leave at 5:45 and why we drove right by the bus stop.
We got to school and only the students were allowed in so they could make those final preparations. The moms waited outside. Most were decked out in their Sunday best. I have never seen that many parents at any other event at that school.
All of the kids were in the program. Some danced. Some did a little skit. Rosy was in the skit. There was a big caterpillar and some clouds. After it rained, the roses bloomed. Rosy was one of the roses. I thought she was the cutest rose.
It was a fun day and the teachers and staff at Manos Felices worked hard to make this day special.
