Field Trip

Ryan got to go on one field trip this year for preschool, it was to the fire station.  I was lucky enough to be able to go with him.  I was more excited then him.  Ryan has been in an "I don't like preschool" kick.  He says that he doesn't want to go, it isn't fun and that he is bored.  he even asked me why I decided to send him to a preschool that he doesn't like (clearly, I did it because I thought it would be fun).  Anyway, he said he didn't want to go to the fire station because he knew everything about it.  Everything.  I tried to explain that we could never really know everything and that we can always learn something new...blah, blah, blah. He didn't buy it.  Luckily at the last minute he decided that it might actually be fun to go, and he did have fun.  So did I.

It was such a fun day.  When we got back to school they practiced "stop, drop, roll" and watched a fire safety video and then had a pizza party.  I hope this is the first of many field trips that I can go along on.  I am very grateful that Grandma Joan came up for the day so I could go.
