School's in for Webkinz

Erin is really getting into playing school these days. I'm her favorite pupil. (Sample questions: "How would you feel if Jesus died? Sad? That's right! Goooooooood. Now, how would you feel if your mommy made you go to bed early?") She found a little dowel rod and uses it as her "teaching stick" all the time. Usually she wants to be Miss Shelby (her gymnastics teacher) but she also enjoys being "your teacher but also your mom."

I suggested she use Webkinz as teaching subjects since they're not as busy as this pupil. She really cottoned onto that and now she regularly holds sessions with 10-15 furry critters on my La-Z Boy recliner. Drew wanted to get involved one day as well and it was a hoot to watch them divvy up the animals and get to work. He had a batch of them on the bean bag while she was busy teaching her recliner group. I asked what subject he was teaching. He then informed me that he was in charge of the nursery for the day.

I'll try to get a picture of them when school reconvenes.
