week of the young child

at the kid's school every year they have the week of the young child. this event supports literacy in the community. on monday everyone in the whole school wore pajamas for pajama day! caleb and the twins were dressed for the occasion when on the way to school caleb decided he wanted to throw up all is breakfast. it was a mess (and stinky, too)! i had to make a mad dash to target to fix the problem. my super mom powers kicked in at this time. i rushed caleb straight to the pj isle, grabbed a pack of wipes off the nearest shelf, and changed him right in the store. after the quick wipe down we payed for the new pjs and raced back to school. he turned out to be just fine. seems like he gets car sick if the driver (a.k.a. me) whips around corners or drives too swirly. he usually only gets sick when my dad drives him, lol, but apparently he just realized who taught me how to drive!

here is caleb at school playing football with his friends...

ok, keep in mind this is NOT caleb's scooter he is on. he has a red radio flyer bike with all the bells and whistles. i guess this just reminds me that we always want what we dont have. thursday they had a trike a thon where the whole school brings there bikes and trikes. its so cute because at the end of the trike a thon all the kids got their trike license! even ava and zander got their license and we all know they did not ride a trike.

wednesday the parents were invited to eat lunch with their kids. i couldnt get off work at this time so del stepped in. its great having him close by to hang with all the kids. he had "milk" with ava and zander and...

ran upstairs to have chicken with caleb. apparently caleb loved the food that daddy brought for him. del says he not only ate school lunch, but 2 chicken fingers, hawaiian bread, and a few chips. i guess he was pretty hungry. im so proud of caleb because when lunch was over he washed his hands and went straight to his nap without a fuss. its great knowing he is comfortable in his class without his parents :)

we donated books to each of the kid's classrooms and of course bought caleb a few books from the book fair. each child decorated thier own flower and the finished product was put up all over the school and there was even a bubble party on the blacktop. overall the week was fun and interactive. im so thankful that my kids get to experience a school setting like they have. the teachers are loving and best of all my dear husband is always close by. i know that god totally hooked us up on this great school experience!
