Halloween celebratin’ spanned several days … maybe it was like this last year, too, I can’t recall exactly. But, all the revelry (and minimum day at school on the Friday before Halloween) led to 2 days off for lucky me!
The first day off was to accompany Chloe on her field trip to the Pumpkin Patch (this is a mandatory field trip and we have to buy our own tickets, but it’s fun so no complaints about that part!!! I do wish we weren’t also paying for daycare that day, too, though!)
Chloe was so excited…and, truly, field trips like these are great for getting to know some of the other preschool families better and the kids have fun doing things outside of the school!
I hear a lot about Charlotte–from both Chloe and the teachers. They’re very similar in that they’re both very verbal…and were verbal at a very young age. Also, they’re both strong-willed and opinionated.
We often think of Chloe as a “little tyrant,” making demands on the family to “stop talking” because she’s “trying to tell [SOMEONE] something” and then everything has to be just so (as it is with so many 3-year olds), but apparently, Charlotte has her beat on the Being Bossy scale!
Whatever disagreements these 2 have, though, they clearly love seeing each other!
When she was born, she had jaundice and she and I had to return to Sutter for some bili treatment for a night or 2. We ended up nicknaming her “pumpkin pie”…and we still use the nickname!
The field trip ended around 1 or so, but Chloe didn’t want to go back to school after that, so I just took her home with me. I needed to get some stuff done, but then again, this time is so short. I loved having some one-on-one time with her!
