One of James's assignments this year was a 5 paragraph research "paper" on a historical figure. He chose Abraham Lincoln.
After re-writing, refining and polishing those paragraphs, the kids had the "opportunity" to present their writings to the group and to their parents. It was a very big deal and James was quite nervous.
We didn't start on his costume until the last minute. We quickly learned he had such particular expectations. After a few visits/calls to local Party Citys, we successfully located the perfect costume.
All the kids looked great.
The best was seeing him with black hair. He looked totally different - no one recognized him. (The hairspray was thanks to his brother, who is the king of dress up and costumes.)
I think the best for him was when it was all over - what a relief.
