Kona Goes to School

Once upon a time, there was a mom who may have been a little off her rocker.  She did things like take all three children to Ikea, letting the older ones run around and jump on the beds.  One day, she brought her oldest child into preschool and saw that there was a sign-up to bring in pets.  The mom stood and stared at the list for a while, contemplating whether it was a good idea to bring in her 80-lb lab.  She decided that it was not.  Then she signed Kona up.

And that is how, this past Tuesday, Kona came in to preschool!  Riley was so thrilled that she was getting to bring her dog.  I was thrilled that Mike was able to come.  Because, let's be honest, Kona is a super-friendly and excitable lab. 

Right before this picture was taken, Kona had apparently surprised one of the pastors when he entered the restroom.  Ha!

Both Mrs. Hauser and Mrs. Ellison are dog people, so they were great with Kona.  Kona, for her part, whimpered with excitement the whole time.

Riley was a little shy when talking about Kona, but it was clear that she was bursting with pride at getting to bring in such a cool object for show-and-tell. :)

The sign-up list cracks me up. Kona's company is two fish and a bird. :)

A hug from Daddy, while Riley struts around, holding the least. :)

Overall, it was a great time.  No preschools were injured; Riley was thrilled.  Woohoo!
