Week of the Young Child

Well, Simone certainly had a special week -- her school celebrated Week of the Young Child.  They had a theme each day, and to top it off, Thursday was Bring Your Child to Work Day.  So Simone got to visit mommy and daddy's offices.  Let's walk through the week...

Monday was favorite hat day.  So on Sunday night we combed through Simone's box of hats - furry hats, beach hats, straw hats, even a chef's hat.  But alas, Simone chose... her pink beret.  And we topped it off with a spring scarf to add just a little ou la la.  Here's our bebe at the afterschool art exhibit posing in front of her class's pictures.  She drew the picture just under the red "Expressive art" sign (above her head).  It's hard to tell with the glare but she drew a sheep, two kids eating ice cream, and flowers.




Tuesday was color day, and Simone's class wore the color RED.  Here she is in her red dress and red shoes.





Wednesday was WHACKY WEDNESDAY, with emphasis on whacky.  Simone wore her clothes inside out and mismatched down to her socks and shoes.  Her hair also screamed silly with a dozen mismatched hair ribbons.

Thursday, arguably the most exciting day, was Bring Your Child to Work Day in the morning.  Followed by Spirit Day at school in the afternoon. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of Thursday, but it was Simone's favorite.  She had coffee and donuts in the morning, visited our offices and colleagues, decorated cookies and chef's hats in the cafeteria, and then had a BBQ lunch before going back to school where they had "Olympic Games" for Spirit Day.  Fun and ... exhausting.

And finally, Friday--Pajama Day, when she got to wear some very special pajamas to school.  Simone picked pink froggy ballerina pjs.  After school, she wanted very badly to go have dinner in a restaurant in her pajamas.  But mommy and daddy are beat, so we came home with take out instead, to rest and post her week here on the blog!
