William in General

 While I was going through the pictures to post for William in the month of March, I realized that I've been a slacker at updating a lot of things! I figured that I can just update William in general. He has been busy, after all.

 

William did his very first research paper. He had to research a famous American and he chose Michael Phelps. They did the research at school and when he brought his paper home, I was really surprised at how well he did! Part of the project was to dress up like the person he'd researched. So, instead of speedos, he wore an Olympic t shirt, swim cap, and a gold medal! He was pretty embarrassed about the cap and took it off right after he was finished speaking in front of his class. It was hilarious to see that a lot of people didn't mess around! There were kids that had full on Benjamin Franklin costumes. It was the best.

 William also recently wrapped up playing basketball in Smyrna. The Ragin Cajuns played hard and made it to the semi finals, but the Bulldogs took it all. He's wanting to play again next season, but we'll see!

William had his second grade program in March. It was all about Dr. Seuss. He was assigned the role of Sam I Am. He told me that he had a solo part. William was so excited. I was too because he had to dress up and I got to make his costume! Thank goodness for Pinterest and an old Indian tunic pattern my Mom had.

 The name of the program was Oh, the Places You'll Go! It was pretty much adorable! All of the kids wore these little hats. When it was the song about Green Eggs and Ham, we all got excited and I even moved to get a better view of William's solo...

 Only to find out he didn't sing by himself at all. He just offered the Cat in the Hat the green eggs and ham until she finally tried them. William did a very convincing job of being persistent!

I later asked him why he told me he had a solo. He replied that he did... along with the whole 2nd grade student body that sang that night.

Sweet William.
