A Day At Preschool

Let's See...

  • I brought Thomas in his winter duds (big blue hat & coat) to pick up Anna today. As soon as she saw him she shouted "It's a blue man doo!" and laughed hysterically.
    Rest assured not one of the other parents present had any clue as to how clever that line was. And of course I said "that's right! a blue man doo! wow!" and started giggling myself. I mean, she extended our own inside joke. That is really neat. The other parents think we are nuts, but...

  • This week was UN week at preschool. Today one of the moms (Lisa) came in to talk to the class about South America. She also brought in the snack for the day, some sort of delectable (South American?) caramel thingy.
    I guess Anna liked it. A lot. Lisa told me she was the only child who, after finishing her treat, proceeded to pick up her plate and lick it completely clean.
    Then Lisa assured me that this was really cute.
    It is not as if we deny her sweet things at home, you know.

  • Oh yes, Lisa told me one other thing:
    Anna knew where Paraguay was on the globe.
    ha ha! ha ha! We take our caramel with a side of genius...
On Wednesday I did a presentation for UN week, too. I brought in Anna's smart globe and map of the world. Let's just say Anna put on an impressive display (There's Iceland! And Greenland! And Norway! And the Gulf of Aden! And The People's Republic of China! And "Ongolia"! And on and on and on...
