Mary Kate's Show and Tell

This week at school, Mary Kate is the "super kid" in her class. As "super kid," she has to provide snacks for everyone for the week, gets to sit at a special table and pick people to sit with her at snack and lunch time, and gets to bring in something for show and tell. He had talked for a while about bringing in a lion purse she got at the zoo last year, but earlier this week decided tht she wanted to take Madden instead! So, after verifying with her teachers that it was ok to bring him in, I agreed.

Mary Kate held Madden and talked to her class about him. He was so good!! She began by introducing him as Madden Harris Mad-Dawgs Madden Cleveland. She then told her friends that he likes to spit-up and poop out of his diaper. She said her favorite thing to do with him is to play with him and make him laugh. She told her friends that she like to help give him a bath and wash his hair. But, my favorite part, was this....she told them that mommy went to the hospital with Madden in her belly and that Aunt Kay Kay got him out of mommy's belly!!! She also said that when he cries mommy feeds him baby milk, and of course she pointed to her chest to show her friends where it comes from...the teachers and I were cracking up!!

I love that she wanted to bring him on and show him off! It ended perfectly by me explaining that Mary Kate loves to make him laugh. After saying this, I turned him to face her and, when she started talking to him, he cracked up! Such sweet and funny memories are these!
