Sleepover at the J

Sylvie is celebrating her final week in preschool and as a room parent, I, her mother, have been helping plan the events leading up to the big graduation on Friday. One such event was an extremely ambitious SLEEPOVER at the JCC. The teachers were really encouraging and spent the night as well. Out of 16 children I think about 8 spent the night after a dinner and some other astronomy activities. Though the weekend was stellar, Monday we could only spot one star. We had a great time and will go down in the history books of the JCC as the first 4 year-old class to spend the night!

We had the biggest 10x10 tent - the RIDGEWAY

Sylvie and Sophie

In the tent

Did I mention that at 10:00 it started to sprinkle and I said "Sylvie, that is what rain sounds like in a tent! it will stop soon" Then it started to POUR and we started cracking up and fell asleep to the beautiful sound of rain on the tent. I woke a few times with the vague sense that the tent is probably not water-proof. True that. In the morning Sylvie's blanket was soaked but my airmatress was nice and dry.

Park

Sylvie is looking more and more like Joey. This weekend a friend took these photos of her at the park when we had our annual mid-may heatwave weekend.

Water 1st

Sylvie's class decided to support an organization called WATER 1st and they collected backpacks from the whole school and sent them to kids in honduras. The photos that they send with the backpacks are so cute and I love Sylvie's teachers for teaching them about giving.
