Tesla's preschool, Nihonmachi Little Friends, had a cute Halloween parade through Japantown on Friday. Dav and I took time off from work, which I'm so glad we did as it really was the cutest thing ever. What I particularly loved was that the kids made their costumes. The teacher of each group (Tesla is in the crab group with 5 other little ones) came up with the concept (sun, pumpkin, bear, kitty), but the kids glued the pieces together,etc. They even made their own candy baskets.
Tesla didn't know we were going to come to see, so the first video I took (shown below) of them as they crossed a street shows her at the end, sucking her thumb, looking rather sad. As soon as she saw us, she actually started crying, as if letting out her relief to see us, but soon after really got into the parade...and was very pleased we watched her. It was actually kind of crazy the amount of picture and video-taking that was going on around these super star kids! Here is the line of them. Keeping the group together was like herding cats. And here is Tesla happy parading around.
