Open House!

We had open house at the boys' school last night. Chris and I split duties and he put Brennan to bed while Aidan took me on a tour of his preschool classroom.

As part of Aidan's tour, I got to read his "journal". (Yes, my four year old journals as part of his daily school routine. Scary, isn't it?) We visited the classroom hamster "Lola". And I learned that Aidan's favorite foods consist entirely of cheetos, cheese crackers and cookies. (This in a sea of children who claimed to just love yogurt, milk and fruit! Sigh. Why is it always my child? Why?) We also got to read the special books prepared by Aidan's classmates in which Aidan's contribution consisted of:

Things I Like to Do With My Family: Aidan: "I like to play on my swingset with my family."

Things I Would Like to Do With My Friends: Aidan: "I would like to go in a spaceship into outer space with my friends Liam and Nicole. And My Mommy and Daddy."

Things I See in the Mirror: Aidan: "Two brown eyes."

We stopped by Brennan's classroom to say hello to his teacher "Miss Judy." Miss Judy told us that Brennan has become quite the class nurturer. Anytime any of the other children in the class cry or get upset, Brennan runs to find their blankie or special stuffed animal to calm then down.

On our way out of the open house, Aidan managed to leave with two chocolate chip cookies. My little junk food junkie. I have to start pushing that yogurt and fruit!
