Teddy Bear Picnic

Simon had a very special day last week...

The Teddy Bear Picnic,

where ALL the mommies and daddies were invited.

I got all packed up at home,

drove to school,

and realized I forgot his Teddy Bear!

He looks a little ticked in this picture

because he was the only one in class who didn't have his bear

to receive an award, but...

I did drive all the way home

and got it for my boy...

I made it back in time for the

"Teddy Bear Hunt."

The teacher lead the kids all around campus,

searching for their Teddy Bears.

Finally...Simon found his!!

And thankfully, the teacher's aide

saw my situation and hung an award around the

bear's neck, so he would be like the rest of them...

just a little late.

We took pictures,

snuggled with the bears,

and sat down to eat our picnic...

only I forgot to bring his picnic!!!

What the heck...

It's a Teddy Bear Picnic

and I forgot the Teddy Bear AND

the picnic!

Luckily the teacher had some fruit to give Simon,

so he didn't starve.

The day ended up good.
He sang some songs about bears...

did activities that started with the letter "B"...

balance beam and squirting balloons...

and the day ended up not so bad.

He had a few tears here and there because he

was missing his bear and snack for a brief time...

but hey...he recovered quickly.

I didn't...

I felt terrible!

But ya know what...

I'm doing the best job I can!

Thankfully, Simon still loves me

and forgives his mommy in her "mommy moment."
