Mathew is obsessed with building forts. He wants me to build one almost every day. He is very persistent. But every time I take the time to build one, once it's built, he doesn't want anything to do with it and doesn't use it. This was the same, but it made him happy for a moment....
Matthew also had preschool open house with a song performance. He really has a special situation in his pre-school. The way it's worked out he only has 5 kids in his class. One girl, Lauren, who will be at Marion in the Fall, and 3 other boys. With a class so small, the teacher can do a lot with the kids. She says it's like having a play date each day at school. His teacher (Ms. Jessica) says that even when his class has recess with the other 4-5 year old class, these 5 kids gravitate toward each other. They've grown very close.
Mom was able to go on a fieldtrip with Lindsey to an exotic animal farm called Sharkarosa. It was anti-climatic. We were able to see a kangaroo and some cool lemurs before lunch. The weather leading up to this day had been warm-ish. The forecast was for a slight chance of rain, not in the area we were going, and more of the same pleasant weather. Well, I wish I was a weather person in Texas because I don't have to be right and I still get paid. It was in fact quite cool up in Aubrey, and just after lunch it opened up and poured on us. Due to the warmer weather, hardly any of our kids had coats or even sweatshirts. None of us adult chaperons had umbrellas. It was miserable. We tried to do the better half of the tour complete with a tram to go out and see more animals but the teachers decided to just go home early. We had a super sweet bus driver who got the heater on full blast on the bus, he pulled out all his umbrellas and even took off his coat and put it on a couple kids until their teeth stopped chattering. We're hoping for a do-over this summer.
