Show n Share

Every Friday is Elena's 'Show-n-Share' day at school. For several months, she has been asking to bring her little brother in for her show-n-share. Her teacher, Mrs. Stump, agreed to it. So on Friday Egan got to visit Elena's classroom. It was a huge event for both of them. Egan arrived and went straight to sit next to sister in the circle. Elena shared that this was her little brother Egan. He was two. They liked to play hide and seek and when she hides on the basement stairs, Egan can't find her.



Then the kids asked questions. Can he count? When you play hide and seek does he count? What other games do you like to play with him? When was he born? For his part, Egan held Elena's hand and sort of cuddled with her while he chattered away about fire trucks and horse and buggies and was generally pleased with himself as the center of attention. All of the kids found it funny that he was talking out of turn the whole time! They couldn't figure out whether to interrupt him or wait. Eventually with Mrs. Stump's rare approval for such things, they were simply allowed to talk over him!



Then her turn was over and Egan had to go home. He managed to make it out of the room, but then threw a tantrum in the main office when he realized that sister got to stay in school and he had to go home. They both talked about it all weekend.
