A big surprise in the making came together today. Grandparents Day is on the 24th at Faith Christian School. My Dad (a.k.a. Papa) was not going to be able to make it but was off school on Oct. 17th. After some discussion we came up with a plan to make a special day for Caleb by having Dad come and "teach" the class for about an hour and then eat lunch with Caleb in his class. Dad is a science teacher and Polymer Ambassador so he is very qualified to show a demonstration or two. He entered the room disguised as a mad scientist so Caleb wouldn't recognized him right away. His reaction once he did realize it was him was one of surprise and shock. He told Papa later that he realized it was his Papa when he looked into his eyes.
We are so grateful for Dad making the effort to come and spend time with Caleb and the rest of us but also giving his classmates a glance at what a scientist is about. Caleb came home from school today and said when asked what the class thought of Papa...."I think i've gone from one of the dorky kids to the most popular kid in the class thanks to Papa!"
What a great day and a great memory.
