Show-and-Tell at Miss Michelle's

9.30.08

We have been wanting to take Tian for Show-and-Tell, which is on Tuesdays at Miss Michelle's, and today was the day. We walked over to Miss Michelle's home at 10am and the kids were waiting to see their friend Trey. Trey not only wanted to bring baby Tian, he wanted to bring a dog tag necklace he says Miss Michelle gave him (but actually, she brought it back from Drew's birthday party FOR Trey!), and Cow Moo, his Build-a-Bear Kuala Bear to show his friends.

First, it was showing off C0w Moo and answering his friends questions about his bear when they rose their hand.

After showing off the dog tag from Drew, Miss Michelle asked if Trey had anything else to show his friends, and he said, "No." Miss Michelle then said, "Well, who is your mom holding? Do you want to introduce him to your friends?" Trey said, "This is my baby brother Tian" and then went to grab him out of my arms. AHHHH, thanks for Miss Michelle who took Tian from me and saved him from his big brother Trey! She helped Trey hold Tian up for all of his friends to see.





Miss Michelle then laid Tian on the ground for everyone to see. She asked the kids questions like, "Why do babies cry?" "What can we do for babies when they cry?" "Why do babies have such small toes?" (Hence, the reason Tian doesn't have any socks on in one of the pictures!) She is such a great teacher! The kids learn SOOOOOO much from her, she is amazing!





Trey stayed for everyone's show-and-tell, and then I stayed to chat with Miss Michelle and Taylor. Poor Taylor. She didn't hold Tian when she came to visit us in the hospital, and I completely understand why. She arrived about 10 minutes after Tian was born, and lets just say, they clean-up crew wasn't THAT speedy at their job. I am sure Taylor wanted to "head for the hills" after being in my labor room and seeing WHO KNOWS WHAT. I am sure that afternoon freaked her out.

This afternoon she held Tian, and sweet little Sami joined in on the Tian lovin'!



As I was getting Trey ready to leave, I asked him if we should leave Tian with Taylor. He got really nervous and said, "No, because Tian is apart of our family!" I got a bit teary-eyed! Such a sweet boy who loves his little brother!

Thanks Miss Michelle for letting us come over for Show-And-Tell! We had a great time!
