Drop-off was again all smiles. She actually struts right into the class, puts a big smile on her face, and pretty much says hey...then she changes her mind and clings to me but no tears. One of her teachers will come over and we'll distract her with a tickle or "fist bump" and she'll go to her teacher and smile and say bye bye as I leave. This is wonderful. Just in time to throw that out the window when we shake up her little routine with travel for a whole week...
Anyway, CS told me today that when she dropped off her daughter in Anna's classroom, they were settling in for snack time. She was pleased to see all the kiddos sitting at the table, praying (remember, this is a Christian-based school). Anna too? Wow. I asked her teacher afterwards, who told me they sit at the table, tell everyone to put their hands together, and they say the whole God is Good...thank you....food...Amen prayer.
In the car I asked Anna to put her hands together and pray. She put her little hands together and waited for me to say the prayer. It was really adorable and sweet. Really. Then she made me say it over and over again. She didn't attempt it herself, except for "Amen."
What freaks me out is what she's learning that I didn't know she's learning at school. What else does she know?
Like I just learned, also from CS that she and her class walks to and from their classroom holding onto a rope with little handles. Wasn't she just in the bye-bye buggy 8 months ago, and then the wagon over the summer? Now she's following walking rules? How cool is that? I haven't seen her in action yet but I'm looking forward to it.
She also has this recent obsession with Ice (maybe the teething?). She will shout for ICE! ICE! ICE! We used to give her the ice but now she's content with a frozen teether (saves the cold, wet fingers I guess). Anyway, lately Paul and I would follow her ICE ICE up with "Baby" to the tune of the Vanilla Ice song. She got me good tonight: she did her own version:
"Ice, baby...dadadadadadadada"
Over and over. Giggles all around. I can't believe the stuff she picks up...
