Celebrity Reader



I got a little behind. There are only so many things I consider blog worthy and I just happen to have a couple. All of us can blog about our day to day crazy lifes with kids, family, school and a billion other things, but really who wants to hear about that. I wanted to write about a fun thing that daddy was asked to do a week or so ago. The kids school does a Celebrity reading day each year where people from around the community are asked to come and read to the students. They ask firefighters, police officers, deputies, doctors even some of the condor hockey players. They asked daddy if he would like to come and be one of their celebrity readers. So he put on his uniform and went to school. He read to Laurens class first. Her teacher asked if she would introduce her dad to the class. She said, " No". Then he read to another third grade class and then over to James' class. James was so excited that he even wore his play uniform that matches daddy's to school. When his teacher asked if he would introduce his dad he ran right up there and told them what he does and just about anything else he could think of. Daddy read to his class while James stayed right by his side the whole time. Then they all wanted to ask him questions about his job which they did in every class. He showed them his belt and all the gear on it and what it does and what it is used for. James' teacher let him go with daddy to the last class to read. James felt very proud I could tell. When daddy was done he walked outside and all the kids where asking him to sign his autograph on their papers. It was funny. Later that day a couple of girls told Lauren that her dad was cool. We all had fun and the kids where happy to share their dad for the day.
