How freaking absurd is it that Wesley has HOMEWORK from PRESCHOOL, and they did not give us any written instructions about it? :P

We have a handful of paper feathers and a vague, "Write down thankful thoughts." I don't know what they're going to be used for or how they should be written: should they have his name on it? "Wesley is thankful for Halloween"? Should they just have words? "Pizza"? I don't at all know how to approach the assignment, but we know we're supposed to bring them back in to school on Monday.

Which is also great, because, you know, Monday is the day that I have to be at the hospital at 6AM to deliver this baby, so I have to pass on instructions to make sure the feathers get to school to my mom, who will be handling school dropoff and pickup that day.

I mean, not that I mind us doing the project with him or anything, but it would be nice if we had more info, since we are totally clueless about it right now.

I'm thinking that when every family takes a different approach to the assignment, the school might figure out that they need to make things clearer. Don't fret about it.

Oh, we didn't, really. I just like clarity in instructions: it's a strange kind of anxiety trigger for me to not have it. I hate not knowing what's expected of me, and it came up again with this assignment. Silly, but. ;)

Really adorably, though, the first thing Wesley picked for his thankful thoughts was his teacher. He followed it up with Halloween, bedtime, and the zoo. ;)

That is cute. And y'know, if Sprog had a similar situation for his first homework assignment, I'd probably also have an anxious moment over it. We'll see in another few years!
