Lunch Date

At Stella's school, parents are allowed to come have lunch with their child if they want to.  So today, Dada decided to go have lunch with his sweet girl at school.  Dada said it was the cutest thing ever and loved the experience.
When Dada first got there, Stella was in charge of squirting out the "magic soap" (Purell) to each of her classmates...a job she took very seriously.  Her classmates saw David, but Stella didn't because Dada was being quite just wanting to observe Stella without her knowing he was there.  Then her classmates told Stella that her Dad was there but at this point, Dada was playing tricks on Stella and hiding from her.  Stella looked all around and when she finally saw Dada, she came running towards him and gave him the biggest, happiest hug ever.  She was SUPER excited that her Dada was there to have lunch with her.  So, so, so cute!!!

Then, the kids all got in a line to go to the cafeteria with Stella and Dada bringing up the rear of the line.  Stella and Dada were buying lunch today because it was spaghetti day.  Stella and Dada got in line and Stella got her lunch while a whole bunch of kids cut in front of Dada =:)  Stella went off to the cashier and paid for her lunch and went to sit down at the specially designated "lunch date" tables.  By the time Dada got to the cashier, the cashier informed him that Stella had already paid for his lunch as well.  I just thought that was so, so cute.

Here are a few pics that Dada took of Stella with his iPhone during lunch.

 After lunch, Stella's teacher asked Dada whether he wanted to stay to read the kids some books and Dada agreed.  Dada got to sit in the rocking chair up in the front of the class while he read the books and Stella got to sit up there next to him.  She thought that was very, very special.  And Stella's class thought that David was a riot when he read the books using all sorts of different and funny voices for the different characters in the books.

When Stella came home, her first question to me was when I was going to come have lunch with her.  I can't wait to go have a lunch date with my Stella girl when I am no longer pregnant.
