To learn by listening...

For those of you who read Nie Nie, you know about the back to school feast she does with her family each year.

I decided to begin this tradition with our family.
Emmy begins preschool tomorrow and I have to admit that we're a bundle of nerves over here.
Not so much Emmy but I'm feeling a bit of anxiety.
Wondering if she'll talk too much.
Wondering if she'll be bored and in turn start acting out.
Wondering if she'll make new friends.
Wondering if she'll be nice to everyone and if they'll be nice to her.
I've been "wondering" a lot the last few weeks and now the time has come to find out what will happen.

So to celebrate, we had a feast tonight.
Our theme was {To learn by Listening}
We talked about who we need to listen to, how listening helps us learn and how listening to each other as a family can help us grow stronger.

{Our Menu}
Sparkling Pink Lemonade
Pub Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
Green Peas
Green Salad
Cantaloupe from Emmy's cousin's garden

To end the evening Daddy gave Emmy a father's blessing and we read The Kissing Hand.

Can't wait for tomorrow!
