Life in the fast lane

 

 

If you’re wondering what the younger set has been up to, here are a few excerpts from last week at our granddaughters’ pre-school:

 

Activities

·    Marble races at the water table

·    Painting with paintbrushes attached to long sticks

·    Exploring reflections with mirrors -- drawing and writing with pencils attached to short sticks

• Seeing how fast and slow cars go on ramps held by amp holders/brackets
• Towing cars to get repaired at the mechanic 
• Hitting a punching bag and each other with the bopper sockers
• Wrestling on the wrestling mat
• Herman the worm song
• Checking out the sea life viewfinder
• Haircuts 

I could get into the marble races, but I’m artistically challenged enough without trying to paint with an extended paintbrush.

The mean streets of preschool - Hope they scheduled nap time for right after all that hitting and wrestling; I imagine everyone just keeled over after getting all that aggression out.

And the haircuts made me a little nervous, although the twins’ hair looked fine when we saw them at Thanksgiving.

And overheard in the classroom

Birthday

·  kid A: "my mommy's birthday is coming soon! and her daddy my grandpa gonna come babysit me on the weekend. And you know what my mommy gonna do?"

·  kid B: "WASH THE DISHES!!"

There's a Problem

·  "There is a problem! The problem is that I peed my pants! That is the problem!"
