Field Day



Mom is afraid of failing to meet expectations, so she hasn't volunteered at school very many times.  Jammy doesn't complain, but he was especially excited that Mom would be the Station Captain for one of the games at his school's Pirate Field Day today. Mom should volunteer more often!

Jammy was the self-appointed VIP of the station: arriving early to set up, showing the other kids how the game would work, choosing which color bucket his class would use, and taking the point position for his team's line.  He was pretty happy that Mom was there.

It was a really hot day! It was already muggy when they arrived at 7:30 AM.  It was 95 degrees by the time it was all over.  There was a lot of bottled water available for the kids to drink, but one of the best things that any parent brought was a regular old spray bottle filled with water.  A dad walked around the field with his kid's class, misting them.  That dad was very popular.

The nicest thing about kindergartners is that they all play together.  They are all at least on speaking terms with the other members of their class.  They don't roll their eyes and ignore each other.  If one of them finds a cool bug on the ground, none of the others are too cool to come over and check it out.
