Thing 1

Friday was Dr. Seuss day in Faith's school like most schools across the U.S. Each child was to dress up as a Dr. Seuss character. Of course I never have anything to transform her into so we always end up going to the store and buying something only to never use it again. Thursday night's purchase ended up being a $3.00 long sleeve t-shirt, $3.27 blue fabric paint, and $.97 black puffy paint. Not too bad if you ask me. So I painted her a big blue oval on the front of her shirt and wrote Thing 1 on the front since she is the oldest of her and Champ. She loved it and even wore it to school on Friday. I'm always worried about things that I make for her. Are they hip enough and cool enough to be seen on a first grader? I guess this one was. What was even better was that it came home clean. A white t-shirt on a kid is not a good combination. She came home with a smile and in the end, that was all I needed. Faith kept her face painted as a butterfly however she was a little apprehensive walking into school out of fear of being made fun of. However everyone loved the butterfly painting. She wished she would have painted it red and white stripes like Cat in the Hat's hat but I'm glad she chose the butterfly.
