Bring Your Kid to Work Day

Great Day. Not sure how many parents actually bring their kids to work to see what they do, but I sure did. Even though my son is only 3, I thought it would be fun, which is was. I had to wake him up early which wasn't as bad as it couldv'e been. We stopped for breakfast, then in to school. We drew some pictures on the chalkboard, colored, made a card for my wife, played on the computer, and went to the gym to kick around a soccer ball. My mother-in-law picked him up to take him to my house after about 3 hours. That is about the limit for a three-year-old in school. Still, it was nice to spend some time in school with him since I never get to see him during the day on weekdays. I have a student-teacher now which was even better, because I just focused on playing with my son the whole time. Last night when my wife and I were putting him to bed, we were telling him to go right to sleep because he had to wake up early to go to school with daddy (a special treat). He said "just the big guys right dad?". So cute. I had fun. It was certainly a cool day. All the students and the teachers loved him of course, but he was a bit shy from it all. I am sure he will nap well for my wife this afternoon. In the midst of a crazy couple of weeks, when time with the kids has been limited, I am really happy we got to spend that quality time together today, "just the big guys"!
