My last day of school was Friday, May 28. School only lasts three hours on that last day, most of which is spent on a "field day" (think hula hoops, wet sponge toss, air-filled obstacle course, etc). My students had been asking when Jonathan was going to come for another visit so my principal gave me permission to bring Jonathan on Field Day. I kept Jonathan mostly confined to his stroller, but he loved being there! He watched the kids play and laughed and babbled to the girls who hung around his stroller playing with him.
When I dismissed the class, several students had to give both Jonathan and me a hug on their way out. A couple of students also wanted to be in a picture with Jonathan. After all of the students left, Jonathan got to go to my faculty lunch party and eat pizza to celebrate the end of the school year. Jonathan's favorite part of lunch was drinking ice water through a straw and then sticking his hand in the cup to play with/eat the ice while sitting on my friend Kate's lap!
