VIP Manny

In Manny's class at school they have a thing called the VIP. Every day (MWF) a different kid gets to be the VIP. This menas they get to bring something for show and tell, be line leader, hold the flag during the Pledge of Allegience (which Manny pretty much knows now, how cute!), stand at the front during circle time and help talk about the weather, day of the week, etc. And the most exciting part is bringing home Lucky, the class puppy. They get to take care of him (in his bag is a blanket and a toothbrush) and then write in his journal all the fun things they did together. Manny has been waiting patiently for weeks now for his turn. And funny thing is he would ask me if it was his turn. I would tell him no and then we would look at the calendar to see whose turn it was next. Pretty soon he knew how many people and who was before him. Mackenzie, Lincoln, Koral, and then me! And even funnier was that he would practice. I would catch him in his room, sitting on his bed, with his hands behind his back. (He already knew what he was going to bring for show and tell--his star turtle night light that shines the stars on the ceiling at night.) He would then very seriously bring the turtle out from behind his back and hold it up, push all the buttons, and then walk around in a circle "showing it" to his friends.
So here are a few pictures of Manny with his beloved Lucky, who went with us everywhere for the 2 days we had him.
