Costumes

J has some anxiety about flying.  Mostly it's just pre-flight jitters.  So when he said he'd be so much better getting on the plane to NY for Thanksgiving in costume, we went along.  Now his class guesses at the end of each day what Jackson will wear tomorrow.

I've missed a few but here are some of the highlights.

1st Day of School

Could this really be happening already?!


I picked out my outfit.  "Pink" and "ballerina" were key.


Playing in the school yard.




Cooking in the classroom.



Snow-y Art Project.  


My cubby.


Perfect end to a happy 1st day at school.


Welcome to the dark side

Since Thanksgiving J has been in costume.  So if you see a mini Darth, Stormtrooper, pirate, superhero, etc. around -- it's probably us...

Words of Mister Rogers

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.
