Grandpa Visits Preschool

Annika's Preschool is a 'parent involvement' program. They start their day with all the children sitting on the floor with their parent/grandparent and read books.

Then the teachers come in for singing time after everyone has arrived. At the end of the day they also have another singing time with bells and dancing.Annika was very excited to have her grandpa spend her last preschool day with her.
This is one of Annika's very special friends playing with 'fisherprice people'.
This is her friends mommy and twin brothers born about the same time as our twins.Grandpa and Annika had a great time with shaving cream making roads, letters, designs and putting some on Grandpa's nose.
The children really enjoyed the colored water in their squirt bottels to make different designs.
The last hour we all went outside for a pot-luck picnic.
This is their play equipment and also had some big frizbies to throw around.
Goodby teachers and special friends..... Teachers gave each child their own sandpail, squirt bottel and book.

Later that afternoon Marylyn, Gavin and Annika took us to the airport for our trip home. Annika fell asleep and when she woke up she asked "where is grandma?" Marylyn explained that we had gone back home. Then she blinked her eyes and looked around, "where is grandpa?" Again Marylyn explained that we had gone home on an airplane. When they got home Marylyn started moving Annika's carseat up to the middle seat next to Gavin, "No mommie, that's grandma's seat". Marylyn then explained again that we had gone back home and now she was going to need to sit there to help take care of Gavin...she thought that was a great idea.
