My Hungry Crocodile

This past Thursday was Calvin's class Assembly, and he was a crocodile.

Here he is waiting for everything to begin.

He even had a line to say. "We are now going to sing The Greedy Crocodile."

(Ok, I feel the need to explain his Crocodile snout hanging in his face. I had made it with a string to keep it sitting at the top of his head and the string broke off. The teachers replaced the string with construction paper and taped it on. As you can see this was not a great solution. There, I feel cleansed of that now. The End.)

After his line, two other crocodiles joined him on stage and they sang their song.

But the two best parts of the show were unfortunately not captured on film. The first was when it was the "monkeys" turn to sing. It was a song about monkeys in a tree teasing a crocodile. Calvin was the crocodile they were teasing and one by one he ate the monkeys with a big "SNAP". It was so cute and he had such a big smile on his face the whole time. And after 'eating' each monkey he would rub his tummy in satisfaction. Priceless. Thankfully we got it on video.

The second part we didn't even get on video, but I have to tell you about it. It was the 'flowers' turn to sing and it was a counting song. There were 10 flowers and one by one they were to move to the other side of the stage. Well they were on #7, but #7 and #8 both moved over. Calvin, my rule follower, just couldn't sit still and let this slide. He had to get up take the little boy #8 flower and try and move him back to where he was suppose to be. He was so sweet and didn't push or yell, he just tried to carefully and quietly tell him he wasn't suppose to be over here yet. Everyone laughed! That is my Calvin. I would have probably been more surprised if he hadn't gotten up!

All of the kids did a great job and it was a very entertaining little show. We are so proud of you Calvin!
