Teddy Bear Picnic

Yesterday Sarah's classmates each brought their favorite teddy bear to school for games, stories, measuring and graphing--a day full of fun! Their wonderful teacher read them a story about a teddy bear picnic, then surprised them by having any available family members join them for a pizza party for lunch. It was soo much fun seeing their surprised faces, observing Sarah include her friends who didn't have a parent there, and just watching my little princess smile. She just kept giggling and smiling and clapping like it was the greatest thing she'd ever experienced! Here she is with one of her best friends, Emma...
...and another college-aged special friend, Jade, who came along with us...

...and her favorite teddy bear bride...
...and of course we had to stay to watch her play at lunch recess. Robbie and I stuck around to watch Levi play kick ball--his new favorite recess game--but I forgot to get any pictures of him...bummer! He's really getting into this game, and comes home lots of days will stories of who made the highest kick (I guess Zachary kicks the highest), when Levi caught Zachary's ball and got lots of praise from his teammates, and the like. Love these kids!

  1. I loved that Teddy Bear Picnic book when I was little! (Assuming it's the same book...) What a sweet idea to do at school! Great pictures!
