dave & janet horsman ::: keepin’ it real since 1998

I opted to drive Elijah to school today, instead of sending him on the bus. For the past little while, we’ve been working very diligently on his “Fabulous First Grader” project (which you see pictured below), and I had visions of him forgetting it on the bus, and then getting a call from a sobbing Elijah, begging me to go find it. I figured the former – although it meant getting all three kids bundled up and piled into the van – would be the least work!

It was great fun putting it all together! Each photo on the poster is from a different year of his life, and then he wanted to color some Transformers (since ”I love both coloring and Transformers.” he said) to decorate the rest.  And you can’t see this in the photo, but all around the perimiter of the poster we wrote his favorite things…things like his favorite food (pizza), favorite day of the week (Saturday), and so on.  He also wrote a little autobiography, brought in something that is special to him – a medal that he got from playing tee-ball last summer – and his favorite book.  He chose The Monster at the End of This Book. (Which, by the way, is my favorite book too…I may have influenced his decision…a little.)
