Parent's Day Out

The note she gets each day

Learning about April weather

Also learning to color inside the lines

Cute, but I'm sure she had lots of help :)

Alexis has been attending a Parent's Day Out program through a local church for almost two years.  She started one day a week in the baby room (0-2years)  when she was 12 months old.  This year she moved up to the two year old room and attends two days a week from 9-11:45 am.  Alexis is particularly fond of one of her teachers, Mrs. Sohee.   Mrs. Sohee is a Korean lady who moved here 22 years ago. The two of them have a cute bond. 
On Tuesday Alexis got in trouble for breaking the crayons.  This is her first time really getting in trouble at school.  Mrs. Sohee pulled Alexis aside to talk to her about the incident.  She also talked to me when I came to pick her up that day.  Alexis and I talked about it on the way home.  I asked her how it felt to have Mrs. Sohee talk to her about the mistake she made.  She said "I felt sad, Mommy".  That evening we all talked about it at the dinner table, deciding that the best thing to do would be to return some new crayons.
Today Alexis returned to school with three of her own unbroken crayons.  She was so excited to say she was sorry!  So excited that she zoomed past the teacher passing out hand sanitizer and straight up to her classroom into Mrs. Sohee's arms. I'm hoping the whole incident made a lasting impression on her.   We shall see...
