Gettin Ready for Thanksgiving


Turkey Day is on its way, and Jude is prepared.  He had a Thanksgiving feast last Thursday at school.  It was truly a preschool feast, with mashed potatoes, corn, green beans and chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a.  Jude ate . . . the cupcake.  And a few bites of corn.  He is not a starving pilgrim.

He and all his friends had Indian headbands, each with a special Indian name.  Jude's name was "Quiet Elephant."  We are pretty sure that last year, he was "Quiet Lion."  That tells you something about his character!

At school, the kids also made Thanksgiving place mats and their teachers helped write what they said they were thankful for.  See Jude's thankful thoughts below.  Please notice two things:
1. Jude says he is thankful for "sister."  Who is sister you might ask?  Your guess is as good as ours!  She's Jude's dream sibling!
2. He has all of his favorite people listed to the right (including cousin Jackson).  Mommy and Daddy are written to the left, an obvious afterthought on the part of his teacher.  She is a shrewd woman.  We are thankful for her.
