Xander’s school had its fall festival today. It was very nice. They had different games set up in all the different class rooms and different activities for the kids to do. Most of the parent’s brought something sweet to eat and it all looked very yummy.
When I say it was very nice, however, I mean what the school set up. For us it was pretty much a disaster. Our best guess is that Xander just couldn’t handle the fact that he was at school, but the routine was completely different. He wanted nothing to do with any of the other classrooms. He baiscally wanted to sit on the floor and cry. So, we left. There really weren’t any other options left. After we left he straightned right up and has been mostly fine for the rest of the day. He’s back to normal 3 1/2 year old levels of mayhem.
His costume came out pretty well. Kate and I (mostly Kate) made him a race car driver coustume. We took a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt and put tape and some ironon patches on it. We got him a bicycle helmet with flames on it and it all looks pretty spiffy. We might try to put some more finishing touches on it before Halloween actually gets here.
