School Thanksgiving Feast

The kids' day care had a Thanksgiving feast for all the parents today so J and I had a rare glimpse of mealtime at both schools. The infant and toddler classrooms went first, so we started by hanging out with RUS, who had actually already eaten. That didn't stop him from enjoying some of my mashed potatoes and green beans though! He also wore shoes for the first time. They seemed to work out okay although one of them kept falling off. I'm not sure how often we'll keep taking him in shoes. Maybe I'll just get slippers for him to have at school.
After about half an hour in RUS's room, we headed down to R's preschool room, which was just sitting down to eat as we walked in. The room was JAM-packed with kids and adults crowding around the kids' meal table. Here's R enjoying her feast: turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce (added later) and a pumpkin scone, with milk to drink. YUM.
It really is special to get to spend time at her school and see her friends and watch her interact with them as well as to meet some of the other parents, most of whom we only ever see in passing on the way in and out.
