Open House at Westside Nursery School

Tonight was an open house at Patrick and Elizabeth's school. The two were so excited to have Mom and Dad go with them to school and were hoping to see friends from their classes.
I didn't get to take many pictures because we were all over the place - visiting the Firefly room, Butterfly room, Dragonfly room, and Muscle room. After a quick visit to the sensory tables it was out to the playground. Elizabeth was super excited to see the Gallauresi's there.......especially Leah. She gave Leah a big hug and told Ms. Nancy that Leah was her best friend. Incidentally, every body at school just loves Elizabeth. She goes into Patrick's class for 1/2 hour before her class starts on Mondays and Wednesdays and Pat's teachers just adore her. How funny is it that everyone at school calls her Lizzy too?!?
There was a craft where the kids draw on coffee filters with markers and then spray them with water to watch the colors bleed. It was a big hit.
The biggest hit was the playground. Surprised? Elizabeth was pretty bossy out there.....even telling off a boy definitely not in pre-school.
Patrick showed off his skills on the rope swing. There was anew rope to climb and swing, a row boat to pretend in and a horse swing made out of tires. After visiting and playing we all headed out for pizza together. It was a fun time.
