Surprise Fayth...Ryan and KellyAnne joined us for a special day at preschool called "Family & Friends Day!" Jon didn't know if he was going to be able to make it, last minute, so I quick phoned KA and said or should I say begged...he he he...would you like to go to Fayth's preschool in 45 minutes for a luncheon. Without hesitation, KA said sure, and had to hang up to get herself and Ryan ready!!
We walked in and FAYTH CAME RUNNING (first photo) she was SO excited to see her friend Ryan. I sure never get greeted like that!! Then she dragged him around by his hand and showed him her classroom. She even took him to her teacher, without my guidance, to introduce him to Miss Kristy!! So...stinkin cute...they are just so stinkin cute together!!!
We had some lunch and then the kids played. I still will never know exactly what to expect from these monthly Preschool "get-togethers"...they are just casual and not much happens. Very very different from our experience in the states, at least in grade 1, where every minute of an open house or family event it planned from the minute they walk in the door. At one point Jon looked at me and said, "What am I doing here?" KA & I just laughed...because we were thinking the same thing. However; it's nice to see the classroom and meet other moms & children. Another funny story, KA looked at me and said, "I could never do this...this is complete hell!" I just had to laugh because me on the other hand is sitting there "remembering" the GOOD TIMES of teaching school. I will always love what I did and there are some days, like today, I miss it!! The best part of the event though, the taxi ride home...Fayth leaned over and gave Ryan a hug & kiss and said thank you for coming (this was prompted by me) and Ryan (who speaks just a little bit) smiled and said, "Fun FUFF!" It melted our hearts. He was just so cute and sincere. I just love how he calls Fayth FUFF!! That's his special version of Fayth!! She will always be Fuff to him!!
SO, thank you VERY MUCH Ry Ry and KA for joining us. It made for the best Family & Friends day ever!! You are both true friends!! These kind of events make it hard that our extended family is 7000 miles away!! And daddy, thanks for popping over...we know your schedule is "out of control" at the moment with the tower almost opening!!!
