Pick Up Line

So, I survived my first preschool pick up line.

I always loved dropping Gracie off and picking her up from Grasshopper Green. I could see the classroom and decorations and how they changed with seasons and holidays. I could see the other kids and hear all about her day as we gathered her things. She would show me her projects on display and all of her handy-work, she would point out her favorite toys and that days best friend.

At Thomas' preschool they encourage you to do the drop off/pick up line.  I didn't do it this morning since he had missed Thursday and he hadn't been to school in a week (plus that was his first time!). So, I walked him in, but we had to wait awhile before the kids came up from the pick up line. Odds are he would have been fine, but I got a chance to see the change in bulletin boards and to take more classroom pictures.

This afternoon I patiently waited to get my Thomas. I had to wait in a rather long line!  But, I finally got him. I heard him yell "mama! mama!" from inside the door and he hurriedly and excitedly pulled the attendant out to our car.  He was so happy as he climbed in.

He didn't give me a lot of details about school other than the usual: playground, food, Thomas' house!

I asked if they sang a song "yup, firetruck dance!"

I asked if they made a craft: "two red wheels."

That was more than I got last time, so I am pleased as punch. Hopefully I will get more details as the weeks go on.
