Gardening Class

The class leader was showing off some Native American bead work
The kids were very fascinated by the jewelry and loved trying it on

this is what Leo thought of the class

making her tee pee

Sophia getting to share her favorite parts of the story

skip, skip, skip to my lou

figuring she was wearing a rainbow shirt, she needed some rain to complete the picture! She and Isabelle got soaked, but they had fun!! Since I'm still carrying around a change of clothes and extra panties, it was all good.
Sadly we didn't get in on the fun until the last class of the season, but a local plant nursery sponsors a "gardening" class every Wednesday during the summer. I thought there would be more gardening involved, but it was a very nice story time and craft period. Strangely the class is geared towards 3-7 year olds, which I find to be a rather large span, but whatever. The "teacher" wasn't quite as used to dealing with the 3 year old end of the spectrum and was constantly on Sophia to sit on her bottom and be quiet! Oh well! She did actually glean a bit of information from the class and enjoyed making her tee pee. The best part was when she got to pick out a small Native American figurine to live in the tee pee. She chose a mom with a baby strapped to her back and she loved that thing so much. It traveled everywhere with her for the next two days!
