There was a potluck at Connor’s school today, and they suggested bringing in cultural food to share.  I was not too excited for this event, especially since I have a slight cold, but I knew I had to be there for Connor.  I left work early, picked up some eggrolls and arrived at Connor’s classroom.  As soon as I walked in, I saw Connor came running from the far end of the table while screaming with joy “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy” all the way to me.  There were only a few kids (6) remaining as the other half of the class had gone home from having only partial day schedule.  Connor was not too interested in the food except the chocolate cookies sitting in front of him, but he was so thrilled to have me there, kept looking up and smiling at me.  I chatted briefly with the teachers and a couple of the parents while Connor ate a small meal there.  There wasn’t too much chatter amongst the parents or teachers, so it wasn’t too exciting.   I took a few pictures of Connor with his teachers and one of his buddies, ‘Conor L’.  His parent told me that the two boys have really bonded, and my Connor always makes her drop off ‘Conor L’ in the morning easier.  At the end, Connor helped the teachers cleaned up a bit, then we said our goodbyes.
