First Trip to the Post Office

We received a surprise present via mail from their friend one day. The boys were very excited to receive the present and the boys wanted to send a mail back. I got a coloring book and a stationery set for them to post. I thought it's a great opportunity to let them learn about Mails and Postman.

Y jumped into his bed and told me he is ready for his nap after I said I will only bring him to the post office if he takes his nap. He had been skipping naps.

I just can't help laughing when I see the serious look on K's face.

Y said to the lady at the counter very clearly, "I want to buy stamp!"

K was hilarious. He was so nervous, he threw the parcel and the money on the table.

Boys with their parcels, getting ready to drop into the mailbox.
It was a happy day after posting the parcels to their friend. They had a better understanding of how to mail a letter or parcel.
