Natalie’s school had a 5-day weekend (thanks to Columbus Day, a teacher development day and a Jewish holiday), so her teacher sent homework. We are in Florida for Pappaw’s 90th birthday, so I needed to bring it with us. She was very diligent in working on it – the first prompt: “My favorite place at school is…. ”
After staring at the paper which only had a 4×6 drawing area and uncertain what part of the kitchen she would draw, I told her we could do a full size picture if she prefers. She preferred:
The place is the kitchen because the dog house is there. You will see her friend on the far right, Eliza, in the dog house and I was told Eliza often wears a dress with dogs on it. Natalie also drew one of her best friends, Eve, in the picture, even though Eve prefers to play at the sand table. The green thing is the old fashioned phone.
I asked Elliott if he wanted to do some homework too. I explained it was important to write his name and draw his favorite thing at preschool. He was done by the time Natalie even realized we could get a bigger piece of paper. His favorite room is the art room.
Here are some cute recent pictures. I walked into this impromptu cuddle the other day…
I met Elliott and Alison for lunch one day…. can you get a more honorable and adorable lunch date?
I was able to pick up Natalie from school one day too – I couldn’t be more excited to see this adorable kindergartener. (She wouldn’t let me take it right outside of school but kindly let me down the hill.)
