School studies are already beginning to wind down and so our calendar is full of "special events" that commemorate the year. This past Friday London had his "Alphabet Parade" with an alphabet potluck after. It was all very Kindergarten cute - each child had a letter assigned to them and they had to come up with a costume of something starting with that letter. Then the parents had to come up with a dish to share that also started with that letter.
London was assigned "N" and since then we've had lengthy discussions on what kind of costume he would have. Have you ever considered that there are not many animals that start with "n"? Newt and needle fish were the only ones we could think of. Some other ideas the kids came up with were nail, noose, nose, Neptune (the planet - not the god), and nickel (my preference, but London would not have it). Finally he decided on numbers, a - thankfully - fairly easy costume for me to make (painting numbers on a t-shirt)!
This poor girl's mom had to design an "oryx" for "O". Where do kids come up with this stuff?
Emmy, London and friend, Sam, enjoy our "noodles" (ie. mac and cheese).
