On Saturday, we had a family appreciation picnic put on by Baby C's preschool, Little Sunshine Learning Center. It was at Lake Chabot...great food and desserts, and Baby C had a great time running around with all her little friends from school. Pick up and drop off is always a bit hectic, so it was nice to slow down and chat with some of the parents and teachers in a different environment. She's been at the preschool for about a month and so far I am very happy about with it.
In the late afternoon, we attended a bowling birthday party for JT and NT, who were turning 4 and 6. It was Baby C's first time bowling and she really dug it. She dug it SO much that she thought it was her turn, like ALL the time. She kept on grabbing the big heavy bowling balls as they came shooting out of the ball retriever thingy and would not let go of them, plus was trying to toss them down various lanes (that were not ours). It was frazzled because I was trying to bowl myself and was afraid she would drop a ball on her little toes or get her fingers caught between balls on the ball retriever thingy (which she did). It was funny when she did "bowl", it was like watching paint dry, waiting for the ball to hit the pins..or not. LOL!
Here is a picture of Baby C with her bowling party favor bag, "striking" a pose...HAH! get it? I know, I am a cheeseball. =)
On Sunday, we had a bat brit to attend in San Francisco for the daughter of one of Daddy J's old Schwab associates. The ceremony was at their home in the Marina, they served brunch fare including the obligatory bagels, cream cheese, and lox. A bat brit is a naming ceremony for a girl where her Jewish name is announced. It was the first bat brit we ever attended and the ceremony was very meaningful and touching. We were so honored to be a part of it and Baby B even had her first bagel!
That evening we had dinner with the inlaws. Here is a picture of Baby C with her great-grandfather in Chinatown and the inlaws' store.
I was a Pre-K teacher before it is crazy when you try to chat with parents during work hours, so it is nice to get to know the families outside of school. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Is there a waitlist for the preschool right now?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a bat brit before. Interesting
Is that SF Chinatown? I'm trying to figure which store this is.
