On Wednesday at school, our kids celebrated Ibu
Kartini Day. She was a "pioneer in the area of education for girls and
women's rights in Indonesia" (thank you, wikipedia) and the kids dressed
Javanese and did some songs and dances for the parents. We rented
Paisley's outfit and she LOVED it. She started asking at 6:30 in the
morning if she could put her dress on (school doesn't start until 10:30,
so 6:30 was a bit too early). We put her hair up and put make up on
her. Oh she was in heaven! And she looked like a doll! Truett wore a
batik shirt with a traditional jacket that he used at his preschool
graduation last year. We also bought him a Javanese had a few months
back, so he wore that. He actually wore the outfit the following day
just because he liked it. The first pictures are taken in our front
yard, so you can see what they looked like. Sorry that there are many
that look almost the same, I couldn't figure out which ones I liked
best, so I just included them all (not true, I deleted a ton!). The
rest are from their performances. They were both in the back row, so it
was a bit hard to get pictures.
Paisley's
class sang a couple of Indonesian songs and ended with "You Are My
Sunshine." They came out and gave their parents pictures of sunshines
that they colored. Cute!
This is one of Paisley's best little friends at school. Her mom found the traditional dresses for them to wear.
Truett's class sang two songs and he did great with the dance/motions.
He's not always into dancing, so I was proud of him.
These are Truett's good friends in his class, along with
the boy right next to him on the end, and, of course, Mitchell.
