Super Kid

Campbell was a Super Kid in her Preschool Class today. She was beyond excited. This program encourages self esteem by emphasizing that they are special and important individuals. God made each one of us unique and we are all "Super" in His eyes.

The flier that was given to the parents suggested a few things to help us to make this a special day for them. So, I decided to go all out and just have fun with it! I made her a poster, provided a special snack and read a book to her class. Campbell brought in her favorite stuffed animal as well. The best part of it all, Brent was able to take a break from work to be there just for her. We kept it a secret from Campbell because we didn't know for sure if he was going to be able to attend this event. She had the biggest smile on her face when he walked in her classroom.

The festivities began around 11:30a in the reading corner where her teacher and classmates had the opportunity to share why they thought Campbell was a Super Kid. Some of the responses were so sweet.

Then it was my turn to explain the poster. Considering today is the First Day of Spring, I opted to put pictures of Campbell on the flower pedals that range from birth to present. The leaves had pictures of Riley, Brent and me. At the bottom was a picture of Campbell holding Mittens (our cat). This was suppose to represent a flower pot.

Then Campbell and I talked about her favorite stuffed animal and then I was able to read the book, Chicks and Salsa, to her class. After the story, her classmates had permission to ask questions about her life. For instance, "What is your favorite thing to do with your mom? Your dad? Both your parents?" I have to admit, Campbell came up with some very clever answers.

I am so thankful that Brent and I were able to spend this special day with her.
