There were lots of fun things to see in her new classroom but most importantly there was a play kitchen and food. Brooklyn headed straight over to the kitchen where there were three other kids playing. They played there the whole time while the parents got all the kindergarten information.
After a while Brooklyn and a couple of her new classmates had made their pretend food and were sitting down at the table to eat, BUT wait, you can't forget the prayer! Brooklyn then told all the kids sitting at the table to fold their arms and she was going to say a blessing on the food. As my Mom and I watched as Brooklyn said a prayer on the food we just laughed and smiled as all the kids (not one was LDS) bowed their head and folded their arms as Brooklyn said a long prayer on the pretend dinner they had made. I don't think any of the other parents saw what had happened they were all talking to the teacher, but as I watched Brooklyn I smiled a great big proud smile.
The great thing was that she was not afraid to be herself and second, none of the other children even thought twice to not pray, or thought it was weird.
These are the times in our lives as a parent that really make it all worth it.
Check back later for a post about Brooklyn's first day of school!

Love this story! How fun she got to go meet the teacher today! Gage doesn't start for 2 more weeks. I can't believe how far away Christian is, every time I look at the map below I just feel for you - and that hallway, that is just crazy!
What a great story. She's going to be so awesome in her class. We miss her silly faces and her wonderful personality.
Love you guys!
