Dave and I went to Adam's school yesterday to read a book and share a snack with the class. At first we were going to read a Piggie and Gerald book. Then Adam said he wanted to read a book that Dave did so that he could say "Illustrated by Dave Aikins - my Dad!". Soo cute! So that's what we did! Mrs. Terwin said Dave "earned some super cool points with the class!" The apple chips I made were a big hit with (most of) the kids as well! It was towards the end of the day and all they had left was recess and dismissal. We asked Adam if he wanted us to stay and take him home, if he wanted to skip recess and go home, or we leave and he take the bus home. He chose have us stay while he played at recess then take him home. So we got to go outside and watch him run around with his friends. A couple of the girls in his class came up and hugged us goodbye. Sweet!
Dave figured out that Adam was mostly upset on his birthday by the fact that he didn't get to unwrap as many presents (because the Skylanders figures were all in little bags). Dave had a couple other "back-up" gifts that he wrapped that Adam could have after he wrote his thank you notes. After unwrapping those, Adam went down to the basement and told Dave they were the best birthday presents ever! Peace has been restored. (And the majority of gifts remain in their boxes on the floor since it's really the unwrapping that's the best part.)
