Wordless(ish) Wednesday:
Mommy's Day at Preschool

Every couple of months, Jack has a VIP day at his preschool, where he gets to do all sorts of special things, and I get to go too!

This time I got to be there on Alphabet Day.


The kids were encouraged to create letter shapes using a variety of tools and toys. If they wanted to, they could write out five words to earn a sticker.


As the VIP's mom, I had the pleasure of providing the snack. Feast your eyes upon this plate of wholesome goodness!


I only have to do this once every 24 preschool days. Totally worth it to be able to kick back and let someone else feed my child the other 23 days!

I really appreciate these opportunities to see what Jack is up to at school. Kind of a fun day for mom too! The kids are too cute!

  11. Sounds like a fun day! That's a smart system - having a different parent bring the eats each day. Nice job with your plate of snacks!

  15. Thanks for all your comments ladies! It makes me feel very good to bring in these healthy treats. It's not such a huge effort, especially when I am only doing it once every couple of months. Honestly, I wish my son came home every day to tell me he had a healthy snack, but sadly that's not the case. That's the downside to having 23 days off - no control over what your kid eats on those 23 days. It's a small part of his overall diet, so I just live with it. May as well get used to not having control over aspects of my child's life now, right?

    June, the squares are cheese - cheddar and mozzarella. Unless you mean the bigger things which are banana, chocolate-Chip muffins.

  16. Last year, we got to do this in my daughter's class. It was a special day for her and a favourite day of mine. They don't do it this year and I miss it.

  17. I would so hit up those snacks! :)

  18. Mrs Tuna, the kids wanted seconds, so I guess it was a hit!

    Lisa, that's too bad that they don't have it anymore. I really appreciate knowing what my son is learning and how he is participating.

    Natalie, it was hard for me to resist doing that myself!

  19. So, so very sweet. I'm glad I have a year or so to let the question of snacks gestate in my mind. My mom was a natural at stuff like that. Me? Not so much.

    That's why I love the blogosphere so much: so many different views of the world!

  20. Oh, ya, Deb. My mom was June Cleaver. I have to struggle to do this stuff right, which is why I'm so thankful I only have to do it once every couple of months!
