Aly brings home Paddy from school

On Monday Aly celebrated her pretend 5th birthday at preschool. Since she has a summer birthday her teacher picked another day for her to celebrate. Last year when she was turning four she was really confused and expected to have a party at home with presents etc....She didn't really get it. This year she understood it better and was excited as she knew she would get to take the class panda bear Paddy home. Here is the letter we had to write for the class about our experience with Paddy:



All year long Aly was anxiously awaiting her turn to take Paddy home. Well, Monday was finally the day! As soon as Paddy got in the car Aly snuggled him close. When they got home Aly and Paddy watched the movie “The Waterhorse” They loved it! KK, Aly’s little sister started to get jealous of the time that Aly and Paddy were spending together so they both began fighting over Paddy. Paddy didn’t like it and felt scared. Aly and KK had to share Paddy and take turns. While it was hard for Alyssa to share Paddy, she did a good job. KK wanted Paddy all the time, including bedtime, so Alyssa slept with Paddy the first night and KK slept with Paddy the second night.

On Tuesday Aly had a dentist appointment. Paddy was a little nervous about going to the dentist so Aly held onto Paddy tight. The dentist counted Aly’s teeth and she even let them polish them. Paddy was so proud of Aly for doing such a good job at the dentist.

Tuesday evening Aly had a friend named Jenna over and they both loved playing with Paddy. They let Paddy play on a boat and they fed him his bamboo.

Aly is happy to bring Paddy back to school today and let him have a turn to visit someone else’s house.
