Winter Gala

A couple video clips from the Winter Gala at school:

"Snowman" by David McCord

My little snowman has a mouth,

So he is always smiling south.

My little snowman has a nose;

I couldn’t seem to give him toes,

I couldn’t seem to make his ears.

He shed a lot of frozen tears

Before I gave him any eyes–

But they are big ones for his size.

and

"Ten Little Indians"

Storytime

Last week, I brought my copy of the book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" (and my plush Hungry Caterpillar toy that my Aiello cousins gave me when I was a little guy) to school, to 'read' to Ms. Lynn's 2-year-old class. I know some of the words, but luckily, the rest of the book I've got pretty much memorized. My friend Gabby came with me to help. She doesn't know the book as well, but she can speak French, so she's got that going for her.

Happy Halloween!

As you may already know, I was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween this year. And Dad dressed up as Woody, the cowboy. It was a Toy Story holiday for sure. I got to wear the costume 3 different times at Halloween: once on Saturday at the parade at Niskayuna Town Hall (they gave out donuts and hot apple cider!); the next time at KinderCare for the school parade and party (I walked with my friend, Sophia, a.k.a. Princess Merida); and finally on Halloween night! That night, G'ma and 'Pa came over, and Aunt Jill, too (she was dressed like sorcerer Mickey Mouse!) We met up with my buddy Caleb (he was Iron Man!) next door and all went trick-or-treating down the street. I'm thinking it might be a good idea if Halloween was every day. Or at least every week.
