So next Friday Ben has to bring a heart to class. Personally, I thought he was bringing one to class every day, as it's somewhat unavoidable if he wants to be alive, but I guess we have to bring a different one. I'm not going to start him down the road of being the difficult, pain in the ass child early. He can do that himself later on.
So, Friday is bring a heart to school day. Now, I'm cheap. I'm not going out and buying something for him to take in. (I probably will. Shut up. My child has to be validictorian of bringing-things-in!) And since that's Friday, and Monday is Valentine's Day*, I had an Idea!
He's bringing in a heart-shaped box of chocolates for his teachers. I get the 'bring-a-heart-to-school' thing out of the way AND Valentine's Day present for his teacher! I win at being a mother!
*See, I thought that with Valentine's Day, and him being one, not much would go on. OH no. He needs to bring in Valentine's Day cards** to exchange with the other children*** who have no idea what's going on.
** Yeah. Cards. I thought I'd just go to Target, pick up a small box, and be done with it. Not so much. There are cards with magnets! (No, he's one. He'll eat them.) Cards with Silly Bandzzzzzz enclosed with them. (No, he's one. He'll eat them.) Cards with temporary tattoos. (No, he's one. He'll eat them.) Cards with stickers! (No, he's one. He'll eat them.) So I'll just get somethng cute and keep the other dangerous things at home, and send him to school with just the cards. (He's one. He'll eat them.)
*** I need to have the husband run a recon mission to daycare. He needs to get me the names of all the children PLUS the actual teachers names. Until recently I've been referring to them as "The young one" and "The one with the spiky hair and too much makeup that Ben oddly loves".
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
