Today was a big day in the White House! Isabelle had her first field trip and I was a chaperone. I asked her last night if she was excited for the field trip and she exclaimed, “Yes! Because you’re going!” My heart sang! This is why I do what I do. I don’t know that she’ll remember it forever (as my mother recently told me that she went on every field trip I went on until I was in the 5th grade and I remember NOT ONE), but for now I’m winning at being a mom.
We went to the Fire Museum, which happens to be located next door to the Preschool. All 3 of the 4’s classes and the Kindergarten went on the trip so it was a lot of kids. Isabelle has 9 other kids in her class and only one teacher. Luckily, another parent came along and so there were 3 of us to help herd the 10 cats over to the museum and back. We didn’t lose a single kid! And I now have a new appreciation for Miss Patti. She has the patience of a saint!
