Super Kid Day

Today was a special day at preschool - Patrick's Super Kid Day. 

We prepared all weekend for the special event.  I put together a collage and story about Patrick to put in Mrs. P's Super Kid Book.  Patrick chose some of his favorite things to bring in and share with the class;

Owen, his favorite train, his camera, a firetruck he built with Daddy, a TRex from the Museum of Natural History, his favorite books, and pictures from some of his favorite adventures.

Mrs. P had a giant sign waiting for us and a table to display all the goodies.

Gill and I joined the class at lunch time.  Patrick lead the class in a blessing before they ate and shared a special snack with the group after lunch was over.

The snack consisted of Lightning McQueen Juice boxes, Pumpkin bread that Patrick made with Daddy and Finnegan and his favorite snack - Peanut Butter Puffins.

 Gill and I each read a story to the class - The Gigantic Turnip and I Love Monkey.

Mrs. P read the final book to them - Curious George and the Costume Party

After story time, Patrick chose some songs to sing with the class.

 Patrick wore his Super Hero Cape all day long.  You can't tell from the picture, but on the back is a star with a "P" in the middle.  It was a gift from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mike and sure made Patrick feel Super Today!

Today was all about celebrating how special Patrick is.  He did show and tell with his favorite items, told stories about each one and even sang songs to the class all by himself.  I am so proud of Super Patrick.  He has such character, a bright personality, a kind heart, the gift of gab and the ability to captivate an audience (or at least a classroom!).

Patrick was not the only super kid today, however.  I know it could not have been easy for Finnegan to step aside and let Patrick have the day, but he did.  Finn was attentive during Patrick's presentation, even raising his hand to ask questions and helping to pass out the snacks.  During lunch, Gill went to sit by Finn but Finnegan refused and told Gill to go sit back down with Patrick!  It takes a big heart to support your brother so selflessly.  Finnegan, Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you - it may have been Patrick's day, but you, too are a Super Kid!
