On Friday I was able to get off of work early to attend a performance of "Rumble in the Jungle" that the Kindergarten students at Eliot's school were performing. Eliot was an alligator and did a wonderful job in his group recitation.
There was a small reception after the performance and Peter was allowed to try on one of the costumes. Eliot was delighted to have him there. Leading up to the day of the performance, whenever I reminded Eliot that I would be coming to see him he would add, "and Peter too?" He was almost more eager to show off his classroom to Peter than to me. He is convinced that Peter will be attending Kindergarten there next year (Peter has one more year before he'll start there) he is looking forward to having Peter there at school with him.
That evening we returned to the school for Gator Days. It is a carnival-style party that Eliot's school puts on toward the end of the year. It sported all sorts of delights, including bouncy houses, hot dogs, balloons, and a magician (Eliot is still fascinated by the mind-bending tricks). The boys had a wonderful time together.
