Class Pet

Before Ame started school and I went to

the PARENTS ONLY back to school night,

I found out that they had a class pet

and was excited to come home and tell

Ame about it. But the teacher made it

sound as though it was a real frog.

Last week when the kids started taking

turns bringing farley home for the night,

Ame found out this is who he was...

But it is still fun for the kids (I think)

to bring him home and they have a journal

to keep track of what they do with him.

Well Ame got Farley yesterday, which

is the day she has dance class. We decided

it would be a good idea for him to go with

her to class, although SHE was extremely

embarrrased to take him and wanted me to walk

in with her (I'm not sure what that did for her

and the situation). But she survived and

wasn't completely humiliated.

Remember SHE really wanted to take him!

She was just as embarrased when I took the camera

upstairs last night at bedtime to take some pictures.

You're not going to put pictures

on your blog are you?? is what she says.

She is definitely growing into the phase of

self-consciousness and now cares what

others may think.

She did do a good job of taking care of

farley the frog, and will get a few more

oppportunities to do so throughout

the school year. Hopefully next

time won't be quite as embarrassing for HER!!
