It's officially time to begin celebrating the holidays! There was a Thanksgiving Feast at school on Thursday, and one little guy was super excited. Lincoln's class had been practicing so many fun turkey songs, and they were thrilled to sing (actually, scream!) them for the parents in attendance. Some of the kids made pilgrim hats, some made turkey hats, and some made Indian feather hats. Linc chose to be an Indian, but he kept pulling his "feathers" out! I can't believe how old Lincoln looks in this picture. I mean, he looks like a big kid!
After all of the singing, we got our seats for the Thanksgiving Feast! The teachers had written on the paper covering the tables what each kid was thankful for. Billy said he was thankful for his Mommy, Chris said he was thankful for toys, and Lincoln said he was thankful for Thanksgiving. I'm thinking that he's just giving a summary of being thankful for Mommy, Daddy, Beau, all of our families, etc. The boys were super excited for the Feast! (I think he lost a few more feathers from his hat!)
It's definitely no secret that Lincoln definitely does not eat school food. I pack his lunchbox each day with a (semi) nutritious lunch, or he would starve! Ms. Shaye had discussed the Thanksgiving Feast with Linc earlier, and he agreed to eat the Feast like the other kids. When she began filling his plate with corn, green beans, turkey and rolls, he began freaking out! He looked up at me with tear-filled eyes and said, "Mommy, I just can't eat this school food." No problem . . . lunchbox to the rescue! He happily munched on turkey, apple slices, blueberries, popcorn and a cereal bar.
Daddy went to Beau's room to see how he was enjoying his Thanksgiving Feast, and Beau was chowing down on turkey, dressing, green beans and rolls. (Again, sometimes they are like night and day!) Ms. Jennifer told Kevin that Beau's eyes had gotten pretty red and swollen throughout the morning. Beau had an ear infection almost two weeks ago, and we finished the round of antibiotics on Tuesday. Perhaps the medicine didn't fully cure him, so we decided that Daddy would take Beau to the pediatrician to get him checked out after lunch. Beau stopped to visit the scarecrows on his way out, and he love to squeeze their hands. He wore his best Thanksgiving shirt today!
The pediatrician determined that Beau's ear infection wasn't cleared up, and Beau and Daddy headed out with a new prescription. He never complains about his ear hurting, and he rarely runs a fever. The only symptom he shows is red or goopy eyes. Beau and Daddy had a fun afternoon, and I'm so glad they got a little bonding time. I guess that today I'm thankful for turkey songs, awesome lunchbox fare, a quick doctor visit, Daddy being in town to handle the doctor visit, and medicine . . . oh, and lots of Goldfish and Teddy Grahams. Beau isn't the least bit bothered by his ear infection, so I'm thankful for that too! I hope we've got the right medicine to clear him up because we have a lot of Thanksgiving fun planned!
