In Thomas’ class, each student gets a turn to be “Magnificent Me.” When it’s your week to be “Magnificent,” you get to fill a poster board with pictures of yourself and and your family and favorite things to do. Or rather, your mother gets to create said poster board. :)
The student brings the poster in on Monday and shares the pictures with the rest of the class (apparently they are given the opportunity to “explain” the pictures and tell friends about their family/friends/hobbies/etc.
A closer look with a strange-looking Thomas on the side. :)
Then on Tuesday the magnificent student brings in a favorite toy. On Wednesday, “Magnificent Me” brings a favorite book to share with the class. Thomas opted for “A Day at the Fire Station” by Richard Scarry. And finally, on Thursday the child brings in a favorite snack for all the class. Thomas brought Spiderman fruit snacks and colby jack cheese sticks.
Thomas had been asking me for a LONG time when it would be his turn to be “Magnificent Me.” Since the teacher was going in reverse alphabetical order, I hated to keep telling him he had to wait a little longer. His class “number” is five out of 19, so he had to wait for 14 other turns before it was his.
Now his big week has come and gone, but we know he’ll continue to be magnificent!
Speaking of magnificent, Parker is pretty great, too! Last week we tried lowering the seat on Thomas’ bike and Parker was able to ride it. He was so excited.
He has a smaller (12’) bike at Nannie & Papa’s house that he can ride, so I knew he could if he could just keep his feet on the pedals, and lowering the seat seemed to help.
Of course, as I was taking the last picture, he ran into the Jeep (the Power Wheels jeep) and lost his balance. When he fell, he caught his chin on the top of the Jeep and bit into his tongue. He was pretty upset and refused to get back on the bike (we were planning a trip around the block when it happened). So he hasn’t been back on yet, but at least we know he can when he is ready again!
Hooray for magnificence!

Ran INTO the Jeep? This is why I have to get a counselor on retainer.
I should have clarified. When I say "Jeep" I mean the Power Wheels variety. No need to call a lawyer on that one. It's plastic. ;)
Love the "Magnificent Me"! The poster is precious and I know Thomas must have been so proud! Precious boys, Molly.
