I finally got myself up to Clara's school to have lunch with her today for the first time. She's been asking me to come up for awhile now. It's not that I haven't wanted to have lunch with her, but kindergarten eats at 10:00, so I'm typically not thinking about lunch around 9:30 or so when I would need to be getting ready to go up there.
So I went and got me a breakfast sandwich at Panera Bread and a pumpkin shaped cookie to surprise Clara with and we headed up to the school. If you go up to eat with your child, you have to sit at a special table. I kinda wanted to get to know her classmates and put names to faces. Is that how it works at other schools? I'm assuming the reasoning behind it is you're not allowed to have any contact with kids if you haven't had a background check. I'm not sure why kids would want to eat with their parents if it means they can't talk to their friends.
The whole time I was there, I kept hearing, "Clara! Clara! Clara!". So she spent the entire meal turned around trying to yell to her friends. She loved having lunch with us and Robert enjoyed himself immensely as well. I couldn't get him to even look at me for a picture; there was waaay to much to take in.
I thought this bulletin board was pretty neat. It's self-portraits of all of the students. Clara's been talking about the colors in the rainbow a lot lately, so I guess the whole school's been learning the same thing.
