Ladies and gentlemen

Jackson's preschool class performed a circus yesterday for the older 4 and 5 year old class. The kids could pick anything they wanted to dress up as related to the circus. When I asked Jackson what he wanted to be he said, "I want to be the person who says 'Ladies and gentlemen!'" I thought this was so cute and great that he wanted to be the 'leader' of the circus. Ringmaster Jackson. Matt's mom had made Matt a dracula costume when he was little and gave it to us to use for Halloween sometime. We used the pants and shirt from this costume and I made a top hat out of black poster board and felt. Matt's mom also contributed with the megaphone/microphone. Jackson really liked it and had a great time. His teachers said that he did a great job, although they did say they thought he looked a little like Lincoln (I did make the top hat a bit on the tall side). I kind of thought he looked like a magician, but hey, it works. One of his classmates was a firefighter. I thought that was a little odd until Jackson said, "Mom! Somebody has to put out the ring of fire the animals jump through!" Duh, mom.
