We make a point to talk about our family when meeting with the teacher throughout the year. By the time Mother's Day rolls around it is not an issue. So far she has come home with 2 of whatever they make in class. When Fathers' Day approaches we make sure we tell the teacher ahead of time that our daughter has a Grandfather, Godfather or special Uncle to make something for. We ususally get the 'oh' look first then the 'whew' look from the teacher .... followed by a thank you. And, as always, we try to prepare our daughter ahead of time to handle such situations - at least the ones we know are coming.
