Take your child to work day

Mackenzie now knows how to clap! Bravo!:

We had our annual, "Take your child to work day". MM came with me to my office to meet some of my co-workers. I wish I had the video camera this day. All the parents and kids meet in the City Council Chambers and the Mayor came to welcome everyone. He had some extra time so he asked if any of the kids had questions. Several of the older kids asked questions about how big the city is, how long you get to be mayor etc. Then the mayor pointed to Mattie who had her hand up just like the older kids. I must have turned 3 shades of red! She did say anything at first, just went "ummmm, aaaa" and then she said "I have my camera with me". Why?? The previous year we had photos taken with the mayor and this year she decided she would take her toy camera with her to take a picture of the mayor, I had to explain to the 100 or more people, including the mayor. Everyone was laughing. The mayor made some funny comment and moved on to another question. We never did get to take pictures with the mayor.

This is Shanika who works in my department:

See MM's camera in her backpack?

We went to the fire station and she got to sit in one of the fire trucks:
