These are the days...

We have had a change in sitters for Sadie and this is her first week with a new schedule. We have a friend who is keeping her on M,W, and F and she is going to a Parent's Day Out at a church on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Well, this will be a story Sadie enjoys reading when she gets older.

Jenny has agreed to take Sadie to P.D.O. and pick her up since the hours are shorter than school hours and I am sooooo grateful. So, Gabe drops her off this morning at Jenny's house just as we had planned. Jenny calls Gabe after she drops her off and very nicely says that she didn't see a lunch bag in Sadie's things. Gabe calls me at work and says that we are supposed to provide lunch. I had no idea. So I told him I would figure it out and get lunch to her somehow. Well, I finished teaching my lesson and ran to Walmart. My assistant calls me when I am in Walmart and says that Gabe just called and he had it taken care of. So I call Gabe and ask him where he is and he says, "Walmart." I told him I was there to and he said he was getting a banana. I look up and there he is scrambling around to find some lunch for Sadie just like me. It was too funny! We got her a lunch and Gabe took it to her and I headed back to school.

Later on, I was telling a friend at school about it and she was telling me some of the things she sends with her daughter for lunch because P.D.O.'s don't provide lunch- which I guess is common knowledge. She said that she doesn't send milk because they don't usually refrigerate things. What did I send with Sadie? Milk. She was also telling me about how she has a bag for her that she puts all of her things in like her lunch and her blanket. Guess what? I didn't send a blanket either! So, Sadie's first day consisted of a warm thrown together lunch from Walmart, warm milk, and a nap with no blanket. I'm so glad I have a couple years that she won't remember so I have a chance to learn some of this stuff. It didn't seem to bother her too much. She was the same happy girl she always is and Jenny said she did great. She even got a smiley face stamp on her hand.
