We have been learning the Five Little Pumpkins at preschool all month long. (If you don't know it you can google it, but having done it so many times, I just don't want to say it again. ) We are performing it at our pumpkin carving party tonight for all of the parents. Lily, who is in my class on Thursdays and Fridays, has practiced very hard at school as well as at home. All of the children have been eagerly waiting for the party. One little girl was absent today and I thought , "wow, what a hard day to be absent from school, she must be very sad to miss all the fun." And, it will be very sad for her. There's only one thing that i can think of that's worse and that's when you get sick at school and find out that not only are you not going to the party, but your mom, one of the preschool teachers, still is. This of course happened to Lily today. She gets full marks for 1) telling me she needed to be sick a full 90 seconds before she was, and 2) for actually being sick in a the lined garbage can at school. Lily rocks, but is very sad because she'll now miss the party. I of course feel incredibly guilty because I will still be there. It really doesn't get much worse-unless one of us comes down with this on Halloween......
