Kermit's school put on a literacy night, and Kermit has talked of little else for days now.  He reminded me at least a dozen times a day about literacy night.  Froggie had a rough couple days with his asthma, so I was nervous about how the evening would go, but decided we would go for it.  The big day finally arrived and Kermit was pleased as punch when we went to his school for dinner.

He insisted that we sit at "his table" and things just got better for this little guy when he not only got to eat pizza, carrots, and a cookie for dinner, but he got to eat dinner with Mr. Welch, the assistant principal.  We teased Kermit a little bit that he must get into a lot of trouble at school if the assistant principal knows him by name! (Last year Mr. Welch was Kermit's music teacher!) 

 

After dinner some girls from a local high school took over for the literacy night activities.  They read all the kids the book Curious George Takes a Job, and then the kids were split up based on what name tag they chose when we signed in.  Kermit was a pharmacist and Froggie was a businessman.  Felicity was Froggie's buddy and went wherever he went!

 

Up first, Kermit got to draw on a big mural that said, "When I grow up"

 

He took this very seriously and created quite the masterpiece!

 

When Kermit grows up he wants to be a firefighter.  He drew a picture of himself driving the fire truck!

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Froggie was having fun playing some bingo!

 

 

Kermit was all business when it came to Bingo!

 

Raising his hand to call out BINGO!!!

 

Choosing his prize

 

This is the most excitement we saw out of Froggie all night.  Getting ready to frost a cupcake.

 

Big sister helping a little.

 

Now doing it all by himself.

 

The finished product!

 

Felicity making one for herself!

 

Froggie was starting to fade at this point.

 

 

While Froggie and Felicity were busy with cupcakes, Kermit was playing dress up.  He chose to be a construction worker.  His hat says "Boss"!

Seriously, how cute is this kid?

 

 

 

 

 

Playing with friends is always fun!

 

 

Kermit was sure excited to decorate his very own cupcake.

 

He was pleased with the finished product.

 

He said it tasted good, although this picture makes me wonder....

 

While Kermit was eating the rest of his cupcake I checked in on Froggie and saw this pitiful sight.  I decided it was probably time for us to call it a night.

 

At which time Froggie tried to convince me he was fine to stay a little while longer.  Lucky for everyone this was the last stop. 

 

 

Kermit colored his Curious George mask.

 

 

He cut it out....

 

 

He put it all together.

 

 

And he tried it out!

 

 

And that my friends is a wrap on literacy night!  Kermit had been so excited about it, I was afraid it would be anticlimactic when the big night finally arrived.  No worries there.  Kermit had a blast and has spent the past few weeks recreating literacy night at our house.
