The Girlchick has show and tell every Friday at school. They usually have a theme that they ask the kids try and stick to. It usually goes with what they are currently learning for the week. In the past we have helped her with it, actually picking it out which has now progressed into just tossing ideas around with her if she gets stumped. Usually these days she picks her own thing.
Last week they were working on grouping and the theme was two things that go together, like a shovel and a pail. She brought in grapes and a banana. This week's theme was two things that are the same or that are different. The Girlchick's idea was to bring in her brothers, who are the same and are different at the same time. I really wished I had been able to get a picture of it or some video, but with Nathan and I both having our hands full of busy boys it just didn't happen. But we made sure first that it was not going to be too disruptive for her to bring her brothers and found out the time that we needed to be there.
She had been talking about it all week. So we took the boys up there and she was so excited. The boys were too. All these other kids around and they were the center of attention. They loved it. The Girlchick loved being able to show off too by making her brothers laugh and that she got to do something special by having her mom and dad and brothers all there for show and tell. It was a good time had by all until Thing one pooped. Not just a little poop. Massive diaper FAIL. All smeared on my leg where he was sitting. We had to strip him in the back of the car and he had to do the ride home of shame in just his diaper.
