As part of Neko's kindergarten class, each child gets a turn to take Buddy the Bear home for the weekend. Buddy comes with a full bag of supplies, including extra clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, bear books, bear coloring sheets, bear counting activities, and Buddy's journal. The kids get to spend the weekend with Buddy, and write about their adventures in his journal.
They go in alphabetical order, and last weekend was Mary Beth. What letter comes after "M"? Needless to say, Neko has been extremely excited about her forthcoming weekend with Buddy.
On Friday, she bounded into the car with Buddy and his big bag. Friday night she frantically ran around the house finding the perfect bed, blanket, pillow, and bedmate (Brown Bear). All of Saturday morning she spent in her bedroom, drawing and counting. Saturday afternoon she made her Panera box house, which was to be Buddy's new home. Buddy even went with her to Barb's house.
I suspect tomorrow morning will involve a misty-eyed speech about how much she will miss Buddy. Until the letter "N" rolls around again, we bid you adieu, our furry friend.
