Josh was the hero in his kindergarten class at school last week. He got to bring home the class pet (Curious George) to spend the weekend with us. Josh then had to write and draw pictures of what he did will George. One of the things we did with George was we took him to the BYU vs. UNLV basketball game with us and watched BYU stomp all over UNLV. It was a great game.
Here is Josh (wearing his BYU wig) with George getting ready to watch the basketball game. We even dressed George up in a BYU shirt so he wouldn't feel left out.
While we were watching the game, Cosmo came up to our section to say hello. He was nice enough to pose for a picture with Josh and George. Josh thought that was pretty cool. (We thought that was pretty cool as well.)
After the game we stopped at the bronze cougar outside the football stadium to take a picture of George with all the boys. We had a great time with George over the weekend.
We made a poster all about Josh to take to school so the kids in his class could get to know him a little better. Josh loved being the hero at school. He got to be the first in line, do the calendar each morning and had many other privileges.
On Friday we got to go to the school to talk about Josh. Here I am (along with Josh, Jeremy and Kayden) telling his class that Oreos are Josh's favorite treat. Josh brought enough Oreos to share with his class. We also told his class about all of other favorite things and things that Josh likes to do. Then his class gathered in a circle and sang the hero song to Josh. It took everything I had to blink back the proud parent tears. It was a fun week for Josh.
While we were there at the school, Jeremy (Dr. White) got to teach the kids about taking care of their teeth. (Did you know that February is dental awareness month?) He had one of the students be his assistant and Josh was the patient. Here she is using suction on Josh. The kids learned how to brush their teeth and all about going to the dentist.
Then Jeremy put a whole bunch of cotton rolls in Josh's mouth and made Josh giggle. The class thought it was pretty funny. Over all it went great and all the kids enjoyed getting a new toothbrush. Josh was excited for us to come in and share some of his class time with him. We enjoyed being there as well. We love our Joshua!
