Grass Skirt

Presley often times comes home from school with grass in her hair, grass on her clothes, grass in her shoes, etc., and I never thought too much about it because I just figured that is what happens when kids play outside.
I went to pick Presley up from school early one day last week, and she was running and playing outside.  I love watching her play.  Especially when she doesn't know I'm watching.  No matter how bad the world is, I think if I could always go watch 3-5 year olds playing in a school yard, I would immediately feel better.  They are still all so innocent without a care in the world.  When I first pulled up she was rounding a corner and running as fast as her little legs would take her through the yard and chasing two boys.  (I'll have to deal with that later.)  I sat there and watched her like a hawk with a bird's eye view for about 10 minutes before I went inside to get her.
When I went to pick her up, I talked to her teacher:
Me:  I was watching her play.  I love watching her play.
Teacher:  Oh Presley is so sweet.  Whenever they play "house" she always wants to be the baby.
Me:  Really?
Teacher:  Oh yea.  We see her lying down in the school yard all the time because they are playing house and she is the baby.

I guess I know how she gets all of that grass on her now.
