Ribbit!

I just had to post a cute thing Ian did today. Even though his birthday was earlier this month, they were actually just celebrating it today at preschool. As part of being the birthday boy, it was his day to do "Secret Sack" which is a fancy version of show & tell. You place an object in the secret sack (a nice sparkly bag) and write 3 clues. The teacher, Miss Anna, reads the clues to the child who announces them one by one to the class. After each clue, the kids get to guess what is in the sack & if they haven't gotten after the 3rd clue, they get to see what was there.

So last night, in preparation for the big day, we talked to Ian about what he wanted to take & his clues. He was very excited & definite that he wanted to take Ribbit, his stuffed frog. We talked about our three clues & came up with:
1 It's green
2 It hops
3 It says "Ribbit"

Arriving at school was very exciting this morning. There was a sparkly crown with Ian & the number "3" on it and he also got to sit on the special star carpet square. Then it was time for circle & secret sack. Like the big boy he is, he went up to sit on the secret sack chair with Miss Anna, who read him the clue "It's green". He was so excited about his secret sack that instead of repeating the clue to the class & letting them guess, he promptly announced "It's RIBBIT!"

Man, there is nothing better than a boy & his frog.
