Its Friday and I get Nariah to daycare just in time for the kids to go outside to the playground. As I put away Nariah’s belongings, one of her classmates come up to me as says “I brought a necklace today, wanna see?”. After replying in the affirmative and watching her run over to the “show and share” basket it hits me.
“Oh shoot!”
“What’s wrong daddy?”
“Today’s Friday, and we forgot to bring something for show and share. Is the letter of the week ‘N’? Maybe I can catch mommy before she leaves the house and see if she can bring something in on her way to work.”
“Ok daddy. Ooh, maybe I have something on my shirt that starts with ‘N’?” and she starts to look at her shirt which just has a rainbow on it.
“Hmmm, I don’t think we have anything on that shirt boo”
Nariah sighs and then lets out a big gasp. Queue gasp –> “Gasp!”
“What Nariah?”
“I know I know!!! I’ve got it daddy! Me!!!” she exclaims with the most gleeful look on her face.
“You?”
“Yeah daddy! Nariah starts with ‘N’! I can show myself for show and share!”
Now I’m pretty positive if I had mentioned her, she wouldn’t have liked that idea, but to see her get all excited about using herself and coming up with it herself was priceless.
