seperation issues - and neither did I, in case you were wondering.
Unfortunately I wish she had been old enough for the afternoon class
because it took me a half an hour to get there this morning, and it
should have taken 15 minutes. I know now why people get road rage.
Due to jerkstores and a rediculously short light, we were stopped at a
green light - TWICE. Needless to say we made it JUST in time. Some
day I'll live in a less cogested area…some day I'll live in a less
cogested area…
Anyway, as you might expect, Alice loved it! She sang songs, played
games, made new friends, and learned how to do "crisscross-
applesauce" (a method for teaching kids how to sit Indian style). What
was her favorite part you ask?! When she told me I was certain my kid
had been replaced with a pod person - cleaning up the toys!
Seriously, kid?! That is EASILY her least favorite part of the day
here at home, even when I make it fun.
At least now I have something to hang over her when we clean at home.
In fact, I've already used it!
ALICE: "NO! I. DON'T. WANT. TO. CLEANUPTOYS!!!!!! Hmmph."
MOMMY: "Remember when you said cleaning up toys was your FAVORITE part
of preschool? Let's pick up toys please."
ALICE: "Ooooook, Mommy."
After school we played, ate lunch, then we ALL took a 4 hour nap. Even
Mommy. It was a long night as Izzy was not a happy camper (thankfully
she seems much better today) and I didn't sleep well. Tomorrow we
clean because Uncle Chuck and Erin will be here this weekend and the
house is trashed. And not Auntie Annie's version of trashed - really
trashed! You know we love you, and your OCD. ;)
One last photo, Alice enjoying one hell of a celebration s'more. I
found these massive marshmallows at the store the other day and I
could not pass them up. We roasted them over an open flame in our
kitchen, just like Mom used to, and boy were they delicious!
