Lester the Loon

Jocelyn's preschool has this activity that each child takes a turn with Lester ( a stuffed animal Loon). A Loon you ask- i think because it is the Minnesota State Bird. They send Lester and a Journal and a book home with your child and you get to write all the fun things you and Lester did together then bring it back to school the next time you have class and show the other kids. Jocelyn was so excited for her turn and was even more excited that it was the weekend so she had lots of days with him. She wanted to take so many pictures -it was funny. Her and Ellie treated him like he was one of the family. Feeding him, dressing him, brushing its teeth? Anyway it was a great project - her teachers are always doing some fun things. Here are some of the pictures with our friend Lester the Loon. (which were also included in her journal so her class could see too) Lester and Jocie Sleeping
Ellie and Jocelyn and Lester watching Peter Pan (one of their very favorites)

Lester is AWESOME!!! I think that journal would be a funny thing to read a few years down the road! How fun! What a funny thing for the teacher to do!.. Funny, as in fun! Makes me chuckle... we had one of our kids bring something home like that for a day... They took very good care of that little varmint... whatever it was.... Too long ago to remember,,.. but it was something. Anyway... fun times for your kiddos! Love you!

Your so good, when it was finally Andrews turn, we all forgot, then he cried when I made up a story for him to share.
