Feeling somewhat better today

Gracie had a GREAT day at school! I told her several times this morning that mommy would be working in Cameron's class and she would stay with Teacher Kim. She kept saying "NOOOO". But when it came time to leave her, she said "Bye Bye" and went to paint at the easel! my poor deprived child, she LOVES the easel! could it be that I have never let her paint at home??She painted 5 pictures on Monday...Cameron had a good day, too, but I was the "Art Mom" today. You will never in a million years guess what "art" was today. It was called shaving cream painting. the child squirts a huge pile of shaving cream onto a piece of plexi glass(and the floor). Then they take medicine droppers and drop water color paint on it (and the floor) then they take a piece of paper and squish it on top of this mess and it oozes out the sides-guess where-onto the floor and then they pick it up and scrape off the excess everywhere....Viola! Done! Now picture SIX 4 year olds at the table doing this and me trying to clean it up! I had 2 girls start crying because they got it on their "new school clothes" and Mommy wouldn't be happy...As a former preschool teacher, PLEASE don't send your child in clothes you don't want to get dirty, they are FOUR....And if you do, don't make them feel bad about it....So that was my day in the classroom...
