Daddy Does a Field Trip

Sienna's preschool had a field trip planned for this past Friday but Levi had an appointment with the specialist in Toledo already scheduled. Dave was supposed to be out of town working so Sienna wasn't going to get to go on the field trip with her class. This wasn't just any ordinary field trip~ she got to ride a school bus and bring a packed lunch to eat at the park (it was a nature park that had a very nice playground area). Apparently, the packed lunch was a very big deal. So, needless to say, she was devastated to not be able to go with the other kids, especially her BFF, Jasmine. I tried to explain to her that Mommy would take her and Levi to the zoo after the doctor (I cleared this with Sierra first). She didn't care about the zoo, she only wanted to pack her lunch and go with Jasmine. I told her we would pack lunches for the zoo~ it didn't help.

Daddy came home a couple days earlier than expected and he gave Sienna the choice between the zoo or going on the field trip~ WITH DADDY. She chose the field trip. I told her that Mommy was really looking forward to going to the zoo with her (because I was really excited to go to the zoo, for real). She responded with, "Well, me was really looking forward to going to the park with Jasmine." I said OK. I couldn't compete with Jasmine, even with the zoo. And she was sooo excited to be able to go on her field trip and pack her lunch. She made her own bologna sandwich and made sure that I didn't forget her drink (ONCE I forgot Sierra's).

She had so much fun, it was worth not going to the zoo. I am so proud (and surprised) of Dave for taking her. Not alot of dads will do field trips. As for Levi and I, we did not go to the zoo. We got lunch through McDonald's drive thru where a crack head tried to approach my van. I didn't put my window down for him instead I put Lola in the window and she tried to eat him through the glass. He didn't stay around. Then we ate our lunch in the park where Levi go to eat on top of the picnic table and feed Lola a hamburger and french fries. Everyone had a great day, except the crackhead.
