Samantha arrived on the same day Meredith had surgery. Meredith was so happy that Stanley had decided to visit some other friends and his sister Samantha joined us instead.
When we opened the envelope, Meredith exclaimed "Look mommy. She has polish like me!!" And she does. Kayla's teacher asked her to make her "Stanley" look like her. And Kayla did. Right down to the nails.
The first thing we did was let Samantha know that wearing pj's around town just wouldn't work around here. It's getting cold. So we gave Samantha a jacket & some pants.
Yesterday morning Samantha joined Rob & I for parent\teacher conference at Meredith's school.
She was happy to see that classrooms in every state have pretty much the same things. Table grouping for kids to work together or apart. Nice colors, rules on the wall, cubbies for coats & backpacks. You get the idea.
I do have to apologize to Ms. Walsh though. I promise that I was paying attention to you & our talk. I am ever so grateful that you think so highly of Meredith and that she really has continued to blossom in your class.
As we left, Samantha was so happy to notice a familiar face, Meredith's, on the board outside the office. Meredith's picture from Peace Day was right there in the corner.
It was a pretty rainy day yesterday so we got some inspiration from Pinterest and made some Jewish Stars. Samantha enjoyed doing crafts with the kids and we did make sure that she was wearing her smock when the paint came out. Today we'll hang some on our Christmukkah bush when we decorate it.
Then Sean made a menorah out of his handprints. No one else was brave enough to paint their hands to make them.
