Chef Landon has been embarking on culinary skills and eating his way through his Little Chefs class. Little Chefs has been his favorite summer class, from making a fruit rainbow (pictured as a before and after), homemade pizza, and worms in dirt, to name a few of their menu items. Landon continues to love love love cooking! Being in this class spills over more and more to his creativity in our kitchen, making is own creations with sandwiches and mixing bizarre concoctions from the pantry and frig. Little Chefs has now prompted us to enroll him into further cooking classes. Watch out Food Network, he comes the next Food Network Star or Iron Chef!!
Ruff and tumble, hop and skip, roll and run……tumbling class has been KINDA fun. Pictures are scarce, as there is only a small window to view class. Initially Landon was into tumbling, enjoying all the activity, fun music, and kids. However, whenever I would peek though the window to catch a glimpse, the boys were always sitting on the sidelines looking bored, but Landon still reported he was having a great time. That great time was short lived, when last week, Ms. Suzie, his teacher, had a major freak out, running out of class, and shouting, “Jacob threw up!!” . As Jacob’s mom ran to retrieve him, the kids in the class looked shell shocked and Landon’s face was near tears. Ms. Suzie exclaimed to the parents that Jacob’s mom needed to clean the puke up, she just can’t handle it. What the heck was with the rudeness, I don’t know…..as if the poor child puking was worst sight she had seen and was blaming the vomiting incident on the the puzzled face parents, as to why she was melting down. I offered to help Jacob’s embarrassed mom clean up the vomit, but she reported she was a nurse as well, and wasn’t bothered by the tiny amount of puke on the floor. As class ended, Landon announced to me he is not going back to tumbling, his teacher is mean and she was mean to kid that got sick! I certainly didn’t witness the vomiting incident and Ms. Suzie’s initial response to poor Jacob. However, seeing her in the aftermath leads me to believe she did not respond with calm empathy. Whether you can handle a little vomit or not, I certainly will listen to Landon’s request to not make him endure returning to his awful teacher when this time was to be enjoyed. So we move on to other exciting activities!!!
