Last week was filled with baby showers around our household. My son's preschool class decided to have a baby shower for one of the teacher's aids who has been teaching them sign language all year.
Although, Ms. Allison doesn't know what she is having (a boy or girl) in a few weeks, my son insists it is going to be a boy! He wanted to make Ms. Allison something special... so with a little help, he made her a twinkle twinkle litte star baby album.
After he went through my fabric stash and found this cute twinkle, twinkle little star fabric we set out to make the baby album covers. Then a day before the shower, with the covers and pages still needing put together, my scaitic nerve in my back decided to protest, leaving me quite frankly - laying on my back.
Yet, my son and I managed to complete the book, and while I rested he made his own wrapping paper from some brown postal paper I keep to wrap books for shipping. Since tape might tear his beautiful artwork, he found some ribbon in my box and we tied it around his gift.
The photos are taken by my son, so they are not as "picture perfect" as they could be, but I think they are great, taken from a five year old.
My son was so excited to give his gift to Ms. Allison. It was a surprise, just like her party!
This morning when I took him into class, the ballons and streamers were still decorating the room. Sadly to say, I had to miss the party to rest my body and help my back to heal, but it was fun hearing all the details from my son as he experienced his first baby shower.
A few days later, we attended another baby shower and as we left his cousin the same age kept saying, "But I didn't see the baby."
Lol.. my son was nice enough to explain - in five year old terminolgy- that the baby was still the mommy's tummy.
Ah... I love creating things with my kids and hearing when they've caught on to something I've taught them. I'm sure in the future my son and I will be working on a lot more projects together. He's already asking if he can help with a guest book I'm making for a friend. I'll be sure to post the photos soon.
