I love being the parent of an elementary school child! Fortunately, Sophie now allows me to volunteer in her classroom (she went through a period in kindergarten in which I was not to come at all, because she said she was too sad when I left) and I even work at her school, so I am there a LOT!
The Science Fair was Wednesday evening and Soph did a report on cats...third year in a row. We are the kind of parents who really try to let Soph do her own thing, with just a few suggestions and most of those she tosses aside. Her poster was great, lots of Sophie drawings of a variety of cats and we found out that lions only kill about 15 animals per year, much less than many domestic cats. I have photos, but can't find the cord that attaches to the computer. Sorry, Mom.
Today was the third grade field trip to see a production of "A Christmas Carol" at Utah State University. We walked up to campus, which is not an easy feat given the big hill to get there, and I did my best to not interfere with Sophie's time with her friends (she gave me a little talk about this last night). The play was very well done and the kids were a fabulous audience. I do think one of the other parents who went along took a little nap during the show, but I can't blame her...you gotta catch some shut-eye when you can.
My favorite part was on the walk back, when one of Soph's friends said he really liked, "Screech." I asked, "Do you mean Scrooge." He said, "Oh yeah," but for those of you who grew up in the 80's, you know about Screech and Saved by the Bell...I appreciated the reference.

My kids never got to go see plays when they were at Adam's. So jealous! That would have been a blast. And, really liked the Screech reference. We're dorks!
