Charlotte's preschool had a little informal program a few days later involving Johnny Appleseed, bees, and apples. It was fun for Corey since it was his first chance to see all of the other parents and their kids in action. Charlotte's part was to explain that A is for Apple, but I couldn't get a good shot of her. Here she is, in the back next to her BFF, Shelby.
At the very end, all of the kids came out hiding behind cute little masks. Then, the teacher read off a few facts about each child and announced who the kid was. The kids answered their own questions about themselves, so the answers were sometimes hilarious. One girl said she had six brothers and sisters (her mom confirmed she has in fact only two) and several kids volunteered that their family's favorite activity was to go to work. Many parents were amused to hear that their families had various numbers of dogs in cats that did not exist.
Charlotte got her family and animal count correct, luckily.
Afterward, Charlotte's beloved teacher, Mrs. Mann, chased Corey down in the parking lot and gushed to him about what a big inspiration his mother, Barb (a former preschool teacher who taught Mrs. Mann's kids!) had been to her in becoming a teacher. It was very sweet. Charlotte flat out worships Mrs. Mann, and Peter will be starting school with her this fall.
