Bear

Some teacher at Isabella's preschool came up with the brilliant idea to send a bear home with each child in the school. The kid is then supposed to keep a journal of what they did with the bear over 3 days. Right. The damn thing came with a SUITCASE full of clothes. Really?? Is that necessary?? How do you expect to give a 4 year old a bag of clothes and NOT expect them to try every thing on??? And how do you expect a 4 year old to put regular baby clothes on a bear with HUGE paws????? As for the journal, you seriously think I am going to sit down and tell her what to write on a small piece of paper and include pictures???? She start writing and it gets bigger and bigger until she has about one letter per page. I ended up writing the stupid journal entry myself (lying my way through it), printing out the pictures, and taping them into the book. I almost forgot to show her my work before she took it back into school to share! OOPS! Oh...and the greatest thing...she woke up 3 times the night before she had to give the bear back CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY that she was going to miss Bear so much. How much sleep do you think I got that night?? Not much.
