Muffins with Mom

Yesterday I realized how different Belle and I are once again. I was a terribly shy kid and the teacher often had to be reminded I was even there. Um, not so with Belle. Yesterday we had a Mom day at Belle's preschool called Muffins with Mom. It was interesting.

When we walked in the kids were in circle time and Miss Trish was reading a book. Belle and her BFF Lexi Z. were in the back. Belle was doing a really good job of listening. Well until she saw me. Then she had to keep looking back and giving me big smiles. They sang their days of the week to the tune of the Adams Family and they did their months of the year to the Macarena. It was cute. Then they put their date on the calendar and moved the weather wheel.

Then it was times for the kids to take their moms to a different room. Miss Trish told the kids to find a partner and THEN find their mom. Belle of course just ran to me. I saw Lexi stand looking for Belle, but then she found a little boy to be her partner. I told Belle to go find a partner. Of course she went and snatched Lexi away from this poor boy.

We then headed to the room with the muffins and an activity. While all the other kids sat nicely and colored their flower pots, Belle was entertained for a minute and then just scribbled the rest so she could be done. She was constantly telling Lexi and her mom what to do and what color to use. Once it was time for muffins Belle picked a double choc muffin and choc milk. A recipe for disaster of course because that sugar soon kicked in and Belle couldn't stay in her seat. She was constantly going over to Lexi's mom and trying to strike up conversation.

Oh Belle, it's certainly entertaining with her. She still knows no stranger and is so social. And possibly a litte ADD. ha ha. I got a feeling she'll always be our little handful. It will be interesting to see how Ethan turns out. Maybe he'll give Mommy a break.
