Thursday Avery's class went on a Spring Field Trip to Sea Paradise. Sea Paradise is like a Sea World located beside the ocean. Each child had to carry their own money to pay for train fares and their lunch. The purpose for this was to teach the kids self confidence and independence. She was so excited about being able to do this on her own like a "big girl".
We also went today to a place called "Book Off, Hard Off, Off House". Yes...you are reading correctly...don't adjust your bifocals. These stores seem to be pretty popular in Japan. It is a used goods store. It came to us on recommendation by one of my Japanese friends. Usually we only see "Book Off"...we had never seen all three before. Some of the items in the store were used Louis Vitton and Coach bags, clothes and Ohhh Curtis found a $2000.00 Rolex watch there too. The store had some good things but still toooo pricey for our taste.

She is such a cutie! I am noticing the height difference. Is she younger than the rest?
So did Curtis buy the Rolex? :)
Well, I think she is absolutely adorable, but with 2 good looking parents like y'all, I wouldn't expect anything less! I love the color caps to keep up with so many kids. Makes us feel better to know there's a strong safety factor there. I went to Tessi's blog but wasn't able to leave a comment - I'll get it figured out or do it when you set it up thru yours. I'm going to tell you how to have lots of fun....Drop your Dad off at Mickey D's or a car show. Drop your Mom off at a Book-off store. The rest of you - go have fun!!! LOL. Thanks for the call last night - that always makes me happy. Love to all & I'm so excited about your company arriving.
Well, she is small to start with - She gets that from her 5'2" mother. But, she is in a Montessori school, which has mixed ages. Her class is 4 to 6 years old, and she just turned 4 in October, so she is one of the youngest in her class. Two of the other girls in the photo just happen to be 6 year olds.
I can't imagine a school in the US putting 4 year olds in charge of their own money; however, I think it's a great idea! I'm sure she was just bursting with pride at the accomplishment of taking care of herself for the day. We missed you guys last night, as Mark & Diane and Ed & I crashed your small group. I hope you have a great time with your visitors!
She is precious!!! I cannot wait to see her and experience what you guys get to do first hand. Two more days!!
