Preschool Party

Today was Andrew's first holiday party at school. He got to dress up in his costume, and I got to go help with the party at the end of the day. Many, many thanks to Amy who kept Coleman for me to be able to go!

Two and a half years ago, when we found out that Coleman was going to be a boy, I told Brent that when they were two and three they'd be Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween. I have been looking forward to this costume for a long time! Fortunately, Andrew loves it too. He has been so excited all week about wearing his Thing 2 suit and hair. I had thought he'd be Thing 1, since he's the oldest. However, he has always referred to himself as Thing 2. Here he is before school this morning.



When I got to the school, Andrew's class was outside. He was extremely easy to spot. I could not believe he still had on his hair. I figured he'd have gotten hot or tired of it around 10 and it would be inside. Wrong! The teachers made a point of telling me how he wore it all day long. He didn't take it off until he sat down to eat at the party.

Andrew's classmates included Snow White, a ladybug, Pooh and Tigger, Dorothy, and a Halloween princess.

After lunch we did a candy corn craft. I mean, project.

Finally, it was time for cupcakes! I didn't get a picture before he ate the face off of it.

The party was really fun. Stay tuned for more of Thing 1 and Thing 2. . .
