Mother Goose Day

Jake's teacher Mrs. Beesley does a Mother Goose day every year. Each kid is assigned a nursery rhyme and they dress like a character from the ryhme. They do a little parade to a few other rooms in the building and the office and then go back to the classroom and do a little presentation. They stand up and the kids try to guess the rhyme and then they recite it for the class. Jake had Hey diddle diddle and had a hard time deciding what he was going to be. We finally decided on an easy one and he was the dish and the spoon. He decorated his plate with the other characters from the rhyme. He did so good. We are so proud.
The above picture is Jake letting the kids guess his rhyme. The other is his whole class with the teacher. The principal wanted a class picture. The last picture is Jake with his best friend Joely. She is a cute girl and they play so nicely together. She was Mary Mary Quite Contrary.

The last is a video of Jake reciting his rhyme. He is getting to be such a big guy.

i just have never understood the whole "plate ran away with the spoon" thing. Why? usually you have plates with forks...what was the secret to their relationship? (grin)
