Ready for Kindergarten!

Peter and Esther were very excited to receive letters from their new teachers in the mail this week.  Included in Peter's was a person cut-out that Peter needed to decorate like himself, and bring to the open house next week.  We also had to write things about him on the back.

I figured it was going to be tough to get him excited about doing this since he's more of a play-with-cars-and-trucks than a color-and-do-crafts kind of guy.  However, once we got started, he really got into it and it was cute how he totally took ownership of making sure it really looked like him!  We even found some school stickers so that he could make it look like he was wearing his school shirt, since it is his favorite shirt.

Here he is with the finished product--doesn't he look proud?

Here are the things he told me to write about him on the back:
