grandparents

We were honoured to fill in as grandparents for Sonia and Umer at their school for grandparents day. I went to Sonya's class and Umer took Muti to his kindergarten class. We played Binky and Sonya beat me both times. Then we tried our hand at Banana, which is a word game like Scrabble. We shared this with two other grandparents and their grandchild. I tried hard to convince the other g'parents that they should let Sonya win but they were too competitive or interested in winning and won both times! We also had some great goodies to eat. We then decided to visit Umer's class. Umer was so excited. We played bowling. It was so hard to set up the light, plastic pins. Anyway Umer was only interested to crash them. The teacher then called the children in for Circle. I was so proud when Umer greated his class with Salam alekum. Umer and a friend then finishes a whole, big puzzle of dinosaurs. There were some happy high five's! The day ended with some great performances by the children. It was lovely to see Sonya and Umer's light up when they spotted us among the large audience.
