Kyle comes home from school with this reminder taped to his planner.
“Don’t forget, Friday is the book parade. All kids need to come dressed in a costume as a book character…”
Oh gesh! Since Kyle has been sick at home, this ‘reminder’ is the first notice for us! I ask Kyle which character he wants to represent.
“I want to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
Behold: The Very Hungry Caterpillar (aka Kyle)
Not bad for a days notice!
And he told me after school today some teachers said he was cute. I would imagine so!
*Honestly I have to give my husband most of the credit! He’s the best 
We had talked about ways to fulfill Kyle’s request, settling on a tunic style assembly with a hood. He had it envisioned perfectly in his mind and when I got home last night, he had cut out all the caterpillary pieces, so I had to sew them together and create the hood….but I couldn’t have done it without him!
This is great!!!! You two are fantastic parents!!!!
Good job!
I love this!!
Wow, that is AMAZING! I have never seen anything like it. Thats great he had cut the pieces out himself and so creative that he thought of it with the hood.
he he
He is amazing – but his ideas was a strip of fabric as a mask for the red head….so ya know….Still – he had all the green pieces cut out for me when I got home – which is amazing in itself!
This is soooo cool. Hold on to that!! I think all 3 kids of your kids can use and then cousin jairus too!!!
Kyle has to be the cutest caterpillar ever. Great job!
Wow – that is adorable! Great job to you and your hubby!!
