Lily has been counting down the days to Monday, May 14th for almost two months. Why you might ask? Well, towards the end of March, her school put on a fundraising gala. It was a wonderful and fun evening. One of the items we won was a play date with Mrs. Worrell. Lily absolutely adores Mrs. Worrell. She comes home from school a lot of days and wants to plays school where she is Mrs. Worrell and Mia becomes Lily. I remember Mr. Taylor (the Head of School) telling us before school started that Mrs. Worrell is the woman you want your daughter to grow up to be like. That's a bold statement to make to the mother of two girls! However, the more we have gotten to know her, the more our whole family adores her. I would love for Lily to grow up like her! She has a heart for God, and she is amazing with these kids. All the kids (and their parents) love her.
So, we decided our play date would actually be an evening at the Braves game. This past Monday worked well for all of us. Ryan, Lily and I headed down and hung out for a few minutes while we waited on Mr. and Mrs. Worrell to arrive. Lily thought the huge baseballs were really cool.
Lily loves her Daddy!

I'm not kidding, I don't think Lily stopped talking for the entire nine innings. She wanted to soak up every single minute of her time with Mrs. Worrell. Before we left, Ryan bought Lily a Braves hat and a tomahawk. However, Lily was most excited that Mrs. Worrell bought her a baseball. It's pink and silver and says "Braves" on it. She loves it. As we were leaving, I asked Lily what her favorite part of the evening was; she replied "Getting my baseball."
We are so thankful that Lily's first true experience with a school has been in Mrs. Worrell's class. We could not have asked for a better teacher. PreK has been fantastic, in large part due to her. Thank you Mrs. Worrell!
