Blowing & Drifting

Today was "Visitor's Day" at Julia's preschool: every kid was allowed to bring one visitor to spend the day doing all the stuff you do at preschool. Happily, she chose me as her visitor, and I duly had a great time. We started and ended the day with songs, which were charming to hear from eight 3-year-old voices, and then pretty much just played and read books. Mostly, Julia being Julia, we read books. She did love to show me around the three rooms, and I think she liked having me at her elbow while she watched other kids do this or that - watching being the second-place activity after reading. We even got to split a small bag of Goldfish crackers. The preschool is, clearly, a wonderful place to be a kid, mixing a huge variety of toys, books, and other activities - big enough that no kid could really run out of things to do.
