Sunshine

Sunshine comes in more than one form. The one we feel on our skin when outside, the one we turn our face to to feel the sunshine on our face, the one the weather man talks about, but I had a different form of sunshine this week.

I picked up my granddaughter and drove her to preschool. On the way I asked her what she would like to do after school today (it was 8:30 am). she quickly responded with " I would like to get banana splits" and then proceeded to tell me about her first one on her fifth birthday. While waiting in line to drop her off she told me "Mom lets me sit in the front and listen to the music, so I can move to the music like this." (she rocks from side to side).

When I went back to pick her up, she said " I know the way to Target from preschool" so of course we headed straight there. We found "makeup", lots of glitter included. We found cute shoes, swimsuits and a few other things. Grammy is a sucker for them as well.

We then found our selves in the snack bar with pretzels and icees.

Next on the agenda I was thinking about heading to her house. She wanted to go to Grammy's house. She said the boys are going potty all day. So Grammy's house it was.

Followed by her favorite "Tom and Jerry" cartoons, lots of giggles inserted here with snacks and lounging around like she owned the joint.

I found out she "hates" it when Mom says"what did you do in school today?" I asked her why and she responded with I can't remember everything. So we had a conversation with specific questions to help prompt her memory. That is a fun time. Dress up is her favorite (shocker). We also discussed erosion. Every five year old should have a working knowledge of that.

All in all a very successful day of 5 year old activities. We all could do with a few more of those.
