Alex had Show and Tell for the first time this week.
We worked with him for days to figure out what he wanted to bring. The theme was All About Me and the rules were that you could bring 4 things but they couldn't be toys or stuffed animals. This left out his TRUE LOVE....Legos.
We suggested several things to him....but this is what he decided on.
1. A Birds of Colorado Booklet because he loves to look for birds when we go on adventure walks at the lake by our home.
2. A picture of him and his sister who is his best friend and can't wait to start Kindergarten next year.
3. A small screwdriver because his Mother has a screw loose he loves to build models that his grandpa gives him.
He tells us that he did really well and that everyone really enjoyed his presentation. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall....

In other news.....I thought that we lost Alex's literacy bag and we tore our apartment apart looking for it.
It looked something like this.
My apartment is now spotless and the damn bag was at school the whole time.

TODAY....my precious son, is having his first school picture taken. And here is my Kindergarten school picture. I look like a BOY!

his show and tell list is great! so funny!
ReplyDeleteAw I always love watching kids do Show and Tell. He chose great things (and I love that you commented on how his wallet has 82 cents in it, haha).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see his school picture, he's going to look so handsome! Kindergarten Connie is a rockstar in training, hence the mullet like haircut, haha - LOVE IT!
Aww, I am looking forward to kindergarten. My son's in pre-k and his teacher is sort of anti-show and tell day because it takes SO very long so she doesn't have as much time to teach. I like her but I wish she'd do it once a month or something.
ReplyDeletePrior to Kindergarten....I had hair down to my waist. My Mom grew tired of the tangles and CUT IT ALL OFF!
ReplyDeleteDid I not own a dress for picture day?
Connie have no fear... The 70s were not good for anyone. I had the Dorothy Hamill haircut. What's important is that you look awesome now!!!!
ReplyDelete@Shany It's true! The 70's were tough! I'm going to pretend that I'm wearing Go Go boots with this outfit!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have show and tell all of last year. I was so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteYou do totally look like a boy in that photo. Makes me glad that my momma made me wear my hair long and put me in dresses all the time.
I love his show and tell items. How cute he is saving to go to Harry Potter world.
ReplyDeleteThat's my BF you're talking about!!! I love him! I love that he brought a screw driver to school!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Connie!!! What in the name of 70's is going on with your kinder pic? (I had a few bad ones too!!)
xoxo
aw I love that his sister is his best friend. That just makes my heart melt.
ReplyDeleteLol, not gonna lie, you do look like a boy in that picture. A cute lil boy though!
Saving for Harry Potter! Awesome!! I love that his sister is his BFF!
ReplyDeleteNice kinder pic! I have a few boy looking pics myself.
I am glad his show and tell went well - I love his choices, they say a lot about what kind of kid he is (a great one!). Hannah's pictures are Friday. Eeek!!!
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could be a fly on the wall at school and so many different places. He had quite the range of things he brought in, how awesome. And Lucas' true love is also Legos.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pic, makes me glad I missed the 70's ;)
That is an adorable show-and-tell collection!
ReplyDeleteI love show and tell!!!! I think he picked perfect things!!
ReplyDeleteAnd your kindergarten picture is adorable!! I don't think you look like a boy at all. Probably could have used a better haircut, but hey, it was the 70's. :o)
OMG, that group of things he took for Show and Tell is AWESOME! I love that pic of him and his sissy.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is that movie? I'm telling you dog people can be crazy, we showed one of dogs for a while I have seen it all first hand!
ReplyDeleteHoney actually brought her sister in for show and tell when she was in kindergarten. I still cannot believe I let a bunch of dirty 5 and 6 year olds touch my baby!
Thanks for linking up my love!
The movie is Best in Show and it's hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteThat's how our mothers dressed up, so we all looked like that! You were still cute.
ReplyDeleteThey should film those show and tell times for parents!
I love when the girls do show and tell day. They get so excited about sharing something from home. He sounds like a very sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW! I love his show & tell stuff. And 82 cents is like 2.00 on the playground.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture!! (I had that haircut too!)
I didn't know there was a Harry Potter World - how fun! Your son sounds super sweet, and my son was a HUGE lego maniac at that age too!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced there are NO GOOD pictures from the 70's, lol!
82 cents is 82 cents...give the boy credit for dreaming big!
ReplyDeleteWell, I sure can't wait for you all to get down here!!
ReplyDeleteI think those are the sweetest things for him to bring for to Show and Tell. He has gotten his heart from his mommy, I am sure!
i hate when you lose something and it was in an obvious place.that is the worst!!
ReplyDeleteif only you could see my childhood school pictures. horrible. i hate when my mom pulls them out. yuck.
xoxo
I am SO behind on reading you guys!! It's gonna take me awhile to catch up - loved the presentation - especially the wallet! And I am SOOOO SOOOO happy you found his book bag - even if it was at school.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you look like a boy - ironically, I did too in kindergarten- I cut my hair and my mom had to cut it like a boy. luckily, she had my ears pierced.....
