Partying like Corduroy

Back story: We put a calendar in Colin's room and we circle the dates with fun events. Then every night at bedtime we cross off the current day and we can have a count down to the next fun event. Half way through February I guess there wasn't any fun events marked so Colin decided to circle February 28th. He decided we were going to have a party and the guests were Mommy, Daddy, Colin and Justin. And the menu was to be cookies, donuts and punch just like his book where Corduroy had a Halloween party. For the next couple weeks he reminded us of the party of course we weren't going to turn down a chance for a party with donuts and cookies. The party was planned and executed by Colin even down to the table cloth, and to keep to the book plan he wanted a pumpkin table cloth but we could only promise potentially finding Easter egg table clothes. He settled on green and went shopping with Mommy to pick out all the party items.


And every good party has someone dancing on the table.

Good to see the party was a success! Yay for doughnuts and cookies! Sounds like a new 2/28 tradition...

Hi, How great to plan ahead for fun things to do and let the boys mark the days off. Colin has the right idea and sounds like a tradition.

Love, Grandma and Grandpa L
