Today, he unveiled the poster to his classmates, then took the seat of honor -- the teacher's chair in front of the class. The children gathered around on the floor and began interviewing Brendan. The highlights, as I can gather from his spotty recap:
- Brendan was thrilled that he chose which students could ask him questions.
- He reported that everyone loved his poster. He should be proud. He did every bit of it except print the photos from our computer. (The entire process was actually harder on me! It's difficult to sit back and just watch.)
- Some of the questions: What's your favorite Pokemon? Asked by Noah, who Brendan thought was being funny because Noah knows which Pokemon Brendan likes best. What's your favorite color? Yellow. What's your favorite TV show? Spongebob, which we both found humorous since we don't watch the beloved sponge in our house!
- Brendan explained everything on his poster to his classmates. They enjoyed his drawings.
- He also said that his poster was bigger than any other poster so far this year. Now, I bought standard poster board. The kind I used in every school project. So I'm not quite sure how this could be ...
- We were asked to write something about Brendan as part of the presentation. This was a surprise to him, as I didn't mention it to him at all. Still, he didn't say anything to me as he told me details from class. Tonight, as I was putting him to bed, Brendan was pleased that he had helped us to avert a major meltdown with Ryan. Then he chimed in, "After all, Mom, I know how to make everyone smile." Indeed, and we agree. Those were our written words about our sweet, charming boy.
