This is so good to hear. My friend’s 2nd grader informed her that he didn’t want her on his field trip this year.
And my other friend’s 5th grader advised her that he didn’t want her coming on their swimming field trip…it was too embarrassing with her in a bathing suit.
OUCH!

awww…so cute that he was so excited about you coming (even though he was hesitant to hug you).

When I taught pre-k the kids were so funny about that kind of stuff. Some of them were so embarrassed when their parents tired to hug them and others didn’t care at all.

Yeah - we parents are always grasping at straws aren’t we?:-)

Have fun!

Yesterday was the first time I would have been able to do a field trip thing with Megan (granted it was only to the watershed behind the school). It got cancelled because it was raining so hard! I was bummed! I had even arranged for Taylor to go with another parent on her field trip to the beach (and I wanted to go to that one!). But, I did get to have lunch with Megan at school (no need to do that again anytime soon) so it was ok. I’m looking forward to next year when I can really participate in all these things!

My 2nd graders still love when their parents get to help on trips. It is so cute to see and it makes me hope my kids want me around then too!
