All about Elison

I know this week seems like it's all about Elison, and it really is.  You see, that's what happens at our house when it's your birthday.  It doesn't just last 1 or 2 days...it lasts the whole freakin' week!  Unless your Jordan and then you somehow get away with basically a birthday month!

Anyways, yesterday I got the opportunity to go and be a guest speaker at Elie's preschool.  They are studying 'People at Work' and yesterday was outside workers.  Who better to talk about that then me-right?  Well, I was actually quite intimidated by talking to 12 4 and 5 year olds.  I didn't know what to say to keep their attention.  So I brought some visual aids instead.  And since they did Elie's birthday spotlight then too, I just kept her up by me and made her my model. 

I brought all my safety equipment and put on her so I could stress the importance of staying safe while outside.  It's amazing what some bright yellow ear muffs, a orange safety vest, some knee pads, safety glasses, and some steel-toed shoes can do.  The kids were cracking up.  And it ended up being a great day for me and for her. 

The crown is from her spotlight, but in my opinion, it only adds to the whole effect!

I didn't even notice the crown until you mentioned it...I just thought it was part of your work wardrobe! I bet the kids thought your job was awesome!

Well done! Great idea! Sounds like it went well.

Cute picture of Elie.

Don't worry that you are talking about Elie all week. I think you should.
