Preschool Pajama Party

Once a year, the kids stuff teddy bears at school, then leave the teddy bears overnight, so that the bears can have a pajama tea party.  The next school day, we all show up in our pajamas to discover what the bears have been up to while we were gone.  I'm going to come right out and say it, I find this completely bizarre.  But I'm game.  I wore my Betty Boop pajama pants (the only pajamas I own.)  

I think Samuel might also find it a little bizarre as he refused to participate - wouldn't bring a stuffed animal from home, and wouldn't leave his newly made Teddy Bear, either.  He did delight in wearing his (soccer) pajamas to school, however.
 Teacher Rachel has a pair of sock monkey pajamas (and slippers).  I really enjoy doing a parent participation preschool with Samuel.  I am also really glad that I am not a preschool teacher.  
 Teacher Tim sets up games for the Teddy Bears to participate in.  Here, the kids throw their Teddy Bears through hoops.  While I imagine this is an excellent game to practice gross motor skills and hand eye coordination, you'd think it might be considered Teddy Bear abuse.  Just sayin'.
 Teddy Bears also get to go for a swing, if one is so inclined.
I'm guessing Shira will really love this next year.
