What are they teaching them these days...

So, Rick took a birthday snack to Katie's class this week. It was our first glimpse into her little world since she started school. He said it was pretty crazy - a lot of little bodies in a little room - but that she was having a great time and the other kids seemed pretty nice (with a couple exceptions.) Since he had to take the snack at 1:00 (yeah, they eat lunch at 9:50 am!) and pickup line starts forming around 2:00, I suggested he stay for the rest of the afternoon and ask the teachers if they had anything he could do...

...which is how he ended up in the teacher work room stapling number books together! Go little Ricky!

Anyway, he said the most entertaining/unusual part of his adventures in kindergarten was when Mrs. Pearson announced that everyone needed to finish their snack because it was time to go out for recess. Rick said that "recess" was barely out of her mouth when 5 (no exaggeration) kids asked Katie if they could be her cat! And 1 asked to be her dog?

What is up with that?

We still have no clue why her classmates are campaigning to be her pet. She was tired to the point of tears last night so I forgot to ask. I think we will be needing to have a little chat tonight.
