Addie’s in the Bear Class at her preschool and was trusted with the responsibility of bringing the class pet, Mr. Bear, home one weekend.  He was supposed to go everywhere with our family that weekend, while we documented his travels through photos.  His first adventure was getting to ride home from school with Addie in her stroller.  Addie’s preschool is close enough that we try to walk during the two weeks a year when the weather is not too hot or too cold.  Addie fell asleep on the way home, but enjoyed having Mr. Bear to cuddle with during the ride.

That night we read one of Addie’s favorite bedtime stories with Mr. Bear.

We tucked him into his own special little bed beside Addie.  She does NOT like for anyone or anything to invade her space at night which is why he had his own little basket.  She gets very distressed when one or both of the dogs try to sleep with her.  Silly girl!

Mr. Bear was also able to enjoy Addie’s final ballet class of the session with our family.  Here he is with Addie and one of her best friends.  The girls are just 3 months apart in age.  Just another piece of evidence we are raising a giant.  I’m pretty sure she is going to catch up with her big brother soon!  I always wanted to be 5’10’’.  Perhaps she’ll make it there.

Mr. Bear also had the opportunity to visit our church with us on Sunday morning.  He went with us to drop Addie off in her class, but then had to come to big church with Blake and me so he wouldn’t get lost.  Addie was pretty sad that he wasn’t able to stay and play with her the entire time.

Once Mr. Bear was safely returned to the class, Addie and I set off to make some scrapbook pages to add to the class book.  Here is Addie helping me sort through all of our supplies.

I love that her teacher often assigns “homework” for us to work on with the family.  Life can get so busy that it’s nice to have to take a break to do something fun and educational with the kids.
