Jeffrey's "Step Up" Ceremony was last week. All the kids climbed to the top of the steps then the teacher told everyone their favorite color, what they want to be when they grow up, and who their best friend is.
Jeffrey's favorite color: "Blue" --that's an easy one.
Future Profession: The teacher said Jeffrey "wasn't able to tell her what he wanted to be when he grows up, but he really likes trains, so she's guessing he might want to be a train conductor."
Best Friend: "Maverick". (There are a couple of kids that he has actually mentioned outside of class, and Maverick is not one of them. Maverick is a six-year-old and I've never seen Jeffrey notice him at all, so I'm wondering what the conversation was like with his teacher that resulted in Jeffrey deciding that "Maverick" was his best friend).
Arabelle really wanted to do everything the kids were doing. It's looking like she may turn out to be a more cooperative "participator" than Jeffrey is, and that will be a good thing.

After the "ceremony" there was a picnic lunch and Jeffrey was kind enough to share.
Arabelle wanted to wear the hat, and I didn't protest (even though clashed with her outfit) because it covered up her stitches.
I found myself using lots of "quotations" in the post. I'm wondering if it's my mood or simply the nature of the post...
Well, the name "Maverick" simply calls for quotation marks around it. You know, Arabelle didn't use to look that much like Jeffrey, but they're practically identical now.
ReplyDeleteI agree with mom that they are looking a lot alike and it is so cute! I love Arabelle's hats and I love that Jeffrey is feeding her just like he did for Garrett when they were tiny.
