Leilani's First School Excursion

What an exciting day! Leilani was going on her first school excursion to the Sandy Bay playground!  She couldn't wait and was counting down the days! Emily and I joined them after lunch for the bush walk and Leilani was very happy to see us. She has a lovely class and her teachers is wonderful.


While waiting for the bus to come to take them back to school they played a game of Duck Duck Goose.




It was really nice to see Leilani interacting with her school class and especially nice to see her taking care of Lay Lay Wah. Her teacher Mrs Haas had been telling me  in previous weeks how kind Leilani is to Lay Lay Wah, a little girl who joined their class a few weeks late and who doesn't speak any english. She sits with her, plays with her and stops her from running off! A few times Lay Lay Wah has even fallen asleep leaning on Leilani's lap during story time! I guess it's the mother coming out of Lani already!

Lay Lay Wah aye!! That's one good thing about having an auntie like Elle - all the kids learn to include "different kinds" and be nice to them and pretend they are just the same as everyone else.. That is awesome though that she is nice to lay Lay

I have to agree with Laura. I am such a good example for them about being nice to 'all' people - it is hard to be nice to Laura sometimes, but, I still always ALWAYS try my best!
