On Tuesday, Nathan got to be 'King for the Day' in his kindergarten class. He was beginning to think they forgot him since everyone else got to be King or Queen. I was beginning to worry too since I knew how much this meant to him. King or Queen means they get to be the teacher helper and pick certain special things for the day and you get to bring Buddy home with you. Buddy is a backpack dog (kind of a mascot for their retriever class) and he comes with a journal to document his adventures with each child (which we had to read each and every story).
Nathan was so excited to include Buddy in everything when he got home from school. We made a quick stop by the scrapbook store and Nathan proudly had Buddy on his back. Mike even took us all to Chevy's for dinner (Tuesdays kids eat free - great deal) and did the drive thru at McDonald's to get the kids ice cream sundaes! Mike and Nathan played a quick game of frogger on the PS2 and I took my eyes off Laura for a second and she decided she had to put her special mark on the Buddy journal with crayon on one of the kids stories. OMG can I just say why did this have to happen to the most OCD of parents?!? Mike and Nathan wrote a really cute recap of Buddy's day and I wrote an apology note to the teacher for my 2 year old.
The teacher was really very kind about the whole thing just chalking it up to 'that is what 2 year olds do' and I was told I need to 'relax, and chill out'. Oh how I wish that was in my personality naturally!

I had to laugh - Grace brought home the Lion and notebook for her pre-school class (last year) and I created an elaborate digital page complete with photos and stories about the lion and Grace...it was so over the top crazy. I am sure other parents looked at that and thought.. this woman is INSANE. I can't help it.
BTW - If I was there, I would get you dinner. Yes, I said "get" you dinner. When my friends need meals, I order some yummy take out for them and have it delivered. Not that I am a bad cook...it's just my thing. I figure too many casseroles is not a good thing.
Check out that smile! How fun for him! I expect to see pictures of this at our next crop!
BTW, Laura is INSANE...ha ha!
