Today after preschool the three of us went to lunch and then to a neighborhood bakery to pick out cookies for BB to take to class tomorrow. So many to pick from. So many. Eventually, he choose two kinds and we got a dozen of each. The teacher will probably not enjoy the fact the kids can choose between two decorating styles, but so be it.
In the car afterward, BB began to plan. He first secured that there were enough cookies for him to try one today. Then he said, "Mom, are we going to put each cookie in a little bag and tie it with a ribbon and put my friends names on each one?" While I was delighted that he thought of this very cute idea, the part of me that has been running around getting ready for tomorrow and Sunday, groaned internally--NO!!!---we aren't. What I said was, "That is a great idea, and sometimes we do that don't we? I don't think we will tomorrow." To which he graciously offered, "I'm not sure how to spell anyway...and you don't even know some of their faces."
He also reported back today that his class will be studying Advent all of December. "The color is blue."
See, my work is done. What more can I teach him beyond liturgical colors and putting cookies in bags with ribbon for a party?
(They also got the H1N1 shot and we picked up pottery from the local 'paint it yourself' shop. Tomorrow, some surprises go up and a couple gifts get opened.)
