Anna had a school project last week where she got to bring home the class stuffed penguin for a night (in an insulated lunch box so he won't get too hot). Anna got to give the penguin a name and bring it along for all our activities that day and then write a short paper about what they did, take a picture with a camera in the penguins traveling bag, and return it to school. Anna was super excited about the penguin. She named HER Snowflake at first then changed it to Pango Mango. She took a picture of her and the penguin eating chips - one of her favorite things.
She was supposed to bring the penguin back to school the next day so someone else could take it home, and she had it all ready and packed to go back to school. But when I got back from taking her to the bus stop, there was the penguin sitting in the living room. I ran the penguin over to the school thinking how happy Anna would be when I triumphantly delivered the wayward penguin.
I asked her about it after school but she was unimpressed/ungrateful. :( So I didn't get any mom hero points for delivering the forgotten penguin. I should stop expecting thanks/validation for things like that I suppose.

I expect the penguin was happy to come to school with all the kids.
