Or Happy Green Day to L! This is probably one of his favorite days of the year. His absolute favorite color is green. So St Patty's Day is perfect for him. The boys all had some green clothing item on. Since T has his preschool class, we were in a rush this morning. But with lunch, I made an effort or rather a green effort. T had green eggs and ham, aka scrambled eggs with a spinach and herb mix and bacon. It was such a big hit for Dr. Seuss' birthday, that it was worth a repeat for St Patrick's Day. His entree was accompanied by a side of avocado. L had a sunbutter sandwich cut into a shape of a tree. I looked through all the cookie cutters - all 101 of them and not a single shamrock! - so I went with a tree. His sides were edamame and avocado. Then the boys followed up with apples and strawberries. Sorry, no green fruit. The Granny Smith apples were much more expensive than the Empire apples.
In preschool class, T made a shamrock or rather decorated a shamrock with green glitter and made a shamrock glitter pin. Yes, glitter everywhere.
I read Count Your Way through Ireland. The boys practiced saying their numbers in Gaelic Irish. We discussed different facts about Ireland.
Then we made a torn paper shamrock. I thought it would be much easier for L to tear paper than to cut or have me cut. I thought wrong. L does not seem to know how to tear paper. (Z, on the other hand, is great at tearing apart paper.) I think I will have him practice some more. It will help with his fine motor skills.
