What a day!! Elise was up and waiting at the door for me when I got back from the bus stop this AM -- that's 1.5 hrs earlier than she should be up! We took a shower, and her hair springed up like Shirley Temple/Orphan Annie.
From Elise's school:
We started the day with an obstacle course. X thought she needed help on the climbing wall but it turns out all she needed was some loud cheering - she did it all by herself! Everyone completed the course and got a rainbow lollipop! Thank you X! After that we moved on to bubble blowing. X was able to catch bubbles on his wand without breaking them. Elise took the prize for popping the most bubbles. X received a special invitation and got to enjoy lunch upstairs with his big brother. In art X chose some really sweet pictures to put in his class book. X and X got to choose centers from the shelf because they figured out how to spell my name.
Jonathan got an award at school for being on the honor roll for both semesters. They had a big awards ceremony, and the 1st graders all sang Over the Rainbow. Very cute. Then, we had a end-of-year party in the classroom. Jonathan pulled out a tooth (#6?). Teacher made a PPT of all the kids; a mom made a PPT of each kid with a quote to Teacher (a lot like the book I made for KinderGan). So sweet, and I'm really glad she did it b/c I sure haven't had any extra time in my days. made her cry. Teacher got bad (health) news from family and left the class very upset, so we ended up hanging around a little longer than anticipated. Sounds like she'll be back tomorrow, though. J had a friend come home with him b/c Mom also got very sick. Dad took us to the frozen yogurt store as a (completely unnecessary) 'thank you.' And, I worked in between all this. I fell asleep on the couch just before dinnertime. What a day, I say!
