I got to be the Helper Mommy in Peter's class the other day. I tried to explain to him that I would be staying with him the whole day at school, but it took a while to sink in. As we walked into the classroom I could sense his anxiety. I think he thought I was going to bolt at any moment. But as it became apparent that I was there to stay, he started to relax and enjoy himself. It was so wonderful to see him so happy in his classroom, playing around and having fun. Peter loved the cars and the parking garage toy. He also loved putting his hands in the bubbly water and playing with the sponges. He enjoyed water coloring and was really great at puzzles. My favorite part of the morning was snack time. Every time I ask Peter about his days at school, he always tells me he pours water. And indeed he does! It was so darling to see all the children clean their hands and the table, then get ready for snack. They poured their own drinks from the special pitcher, then took turns passing the snack. After snack we played outside, which of course, Peter loved. I'm so proud of you, Peter! You are such a big boy, and you are doing a great job at school:)
