Show and Tell

Dear Laney,

Every month of this school year, you've been assigned a day to bring something in for Show and Tell. Throughout the year, you've had some pretty big ideas on things you'd like to share: your brother, your dog, your trampoline... but I vetoed them in favor of more rational things like a record player or a magic trick.

This month will be your last Show and Tell slot, so I suggested an outside-the-box idea: What if we made a video at home that would allow you to show off those things without the hassle of - say - taking an ornery, old, hairy sled dog into a room full of little people who smell like peanut butter?

You did everything in one take, and were totally understanding when I said things like, "We're going to need an establishing shot of you in the swing..."

Poor Grandma Sue came by in her gardening clothes to plant some things in the yard, and got swept into the shoot because Laney was on such a roll of introducing things.

So, here's Laney's show and tell for May:

Love,

Mom
