Tuesday we had a very odd event take place at school. My one-year-old, CC, become the subject of some serious entertainment. We were about 10 minutes early to school and some of Molly's friends began gathering around our stroller to gaze at CC. Before I knew it there were seven or eight kids surrounding her and she was desperate to get out of the stroller. She didn't mind the gawking, but she wanted to stretch her legs.
So, even though it was freezing outside, and she was only in pj's with a coat (no shoes)...I let her out to wander. I know, I know, I probably lost the respect of all parents that were viewing this spectacle because the poor child had no shoes...only footie pajamas! I did keep her on the pavement and out of the mud and bark.
Anyway, as CC began wandering...children came over to observe and follow her around. Before I knew it, CC was leading a pack of twelve or so kids (and one adult...me). She was marching aimlessly around the backdoors of the school and the kids thought it was hilarious. Molly started chanting "CC's a new kindergartener!" and they all started joining in. This little baby had all these kids laughing hysterically and all she was doing was walking. That's it. She was leading a parade and I realized that Kindergarteners really were "followers" subject to peer pressure from even a baby and her sister.
