A Star

Guess who's turn it was to be Star of the Week?

Carson was beyond excited when he found out he was selected to be Star of the Week. The preschool class has a "pet" otter named Ozzie that gets to come home with the selected child. This is Ozzie's second trip to our house.

Here's a summary of Ozzie's week with Carson.

Friday, December 03, 2010

Ozzie and Carson were reunited. (Carson’s twin brother Owen was Star of the Week in October.) Carson was thrilled that he was chosen to be Star of the Week and that Ozzie got to come back to our house. Ozzie got to go to Carson’s basketball practice Friday night. We stopped at Sonic for supper. Ozzie didn’t eat much, but loved sitting with Carson and all his siblings for dinner.

Ozzie got to go to Carson’s and his brother Owen’s basketball game in the morning. Ozzie must have brought good luck to the team because they won their first game. Both Carson and Owen played really well. Later in the day Ozzie played with Carson and his brothers and sister. He liked playing with the train set.

Saturday night the Nebraska Cornhuskers played in the Big 12 football championship game. Ozzie watched the Cornhuskers play and even wore a red collar to show his support.

Ozzie was a tired little thing, but he managed to play with Carson for most of the day and watch some football. Ozzie watched the Story of Jesus video with the kids as well. Ozzie got his picture taken a lot with Carson’s digital camera. He’s a great subject!

We loved having Ozzie back at our house! All the kids loved having him stay the weekend with us. Ozzie was very good during his stay. He got to sleep with Carson at night in Carson’s and Owen’s bedroom. Ozzie liked their new bunk beds. Ozzie enjoyed meeting our special Elf on the Shelf, Joey. I’m pretty sure Joey told Santa that Ozzie was a very good otter and will be put on the “nice” list. Thank you for coming to our house, Ozzie!

Part of being Star of the Week means you get to bring treats to preschool and you get to bring show-n-tell everyday. Carson loved every minute of being Star of the Week. He was a very patient boy waiting for it to be his turn. Carson is one of the last children to be Star of the Week.

Carson and Ozzie making Monday's treats. We had an unintentional marshmallow theme for the week. Every treat that Carson brought to school included marshmallows in some way. Carson brought his Pillow Pet for show-n-tell.

Wednesday it was chocolate covered marshmallows dipped in crushed candy canes or various sprinkles for his treats and his digital camera for show-n-tell.

Friday it was all about Lucky Charm treats (in which he later tells me he doesn't like) and a little race car to show his friends at school.

Don't forget the sprinkles!
