The Sweetest of Show n' Tells...

Awhile ago, I told Jack about how once upon a time I took baby 'Uncle' Adam to show n tell at my school. I could tell he liked the story at the time, but we hadn't talked about it again. We've had plenty of show n tells of plenty of trains, planes, and automobiles since...BUT this past week Jack decided he wanted this particular show n tell to be extra-special. He wanted to bring baby Kate. Of course, I thought this was a perfect idea (great minds think alike) and operation "Kate Goes to School" was put in to place. First, Jack picked out what he wanted Miss Kate to wear. Duh. Next, we cleared things with his teacher and worked out the logistics. And then, it was go time! A very excited Jack met me at the door so that I could attempt to fit his extremely chubby sister into the extremely small show n' tell bag. Lucky for me, he was feeling quite flexible and allowed for just her legs to be bagged. : ) Once we were all set, the showing and the telling could finally begin. Jack introduced her as Katelyn Drew, said that he didn't know how old she was, and said that yes...she is into everything. He then sat back with this smile that dripped of sweetness and pride. And Kate? Well, as anticipated...baby Kate stole the show out of show n' tell. : )
Way to think outside the box, Jackie B, or in this case...the show n' tell bag!
