Jackpot!

Last night I had a room parent meeting at Lily's school. It is official, I am one of 2 room parents which means we have to coordinate parties and school socials and help coordinate classroom volunteers and generally act as a go between for teachers and other parents. Personally, I won't be volunteering in the classroom anytime soon. I went in yesterday morning for reading time to read a book to the class. Reading is the last thing of the day, so I figured it would be best to do that (instead of art time in the middle of class), so I wouldn't have to leave again -- I could just take Lily home with me. Lily and I had been talking about me coming in to read for days ahead. I read the book to her that I was going to bring to class, "The Biggest Bear" and she was pretty excited. But as soon as I walked into her class, she started crying. She sat on my lap and cried through the whole story and cried all the way home. So, I won't be going back again anytime soon. Hopefully after a few months of class, I won't be as disruptive to her day.

Anyway, last night while I was at the room parents meeting, Lily was at my parents house where she had a great time playing the old slot machine in the office with Grandpa.

Putting her nickle in . . .
and pulling the handle. It is tough to pull, so it takes two hands and some effort for her.

and doing it all again and again and again.

JACKPOT!!

We finally made her stop playing since my mom and I were concerned that her little arm would be sore the next day. So her and grandpa then went looking for spiders (?) and made shadow puppets in the safe room. Lily loves playing with grandpa!
