Now the story about his birthday treat for school today. Jonah doesn't like sweets- no cookies, cake, candy etc. About the only sweet he will eat is ice cream. However, for reasons only understandable to Jonah himself, he was adamant he did not want to bring ice cream cups for his class treat today.
I mentioned this relunctance to his teacher and said that really the only thing Jonah would consider a "treat" would be buttered bread. Jonah loves buttered bread! This has been his church snack for the past 2 years. It's his go-to food.
Well Jonah's teacher, being the amazing teacher she is, came up with an cute idea. There is a book called Mercy Watson to the Rescue which is about a pig who loves buttered toast. His teacher suggested that she read the book to Jonah and his class, and then Jonah could supply the class with buttered toast as both his birthday treat and supplement to the book.
So that is why I am being the worst "Pinterest mom" ever by having my son's birthday treat being buttered toast!
Happy 8th Birthday Jonah! We love you so much!
Ready to bring his treat to his class!

ReplyDeleteJonah was all smiles at school passing out his buttery toast! His classmates thought this was "de-lish"! They even replaced the classic "cha-cha-cha's" in his birthday song with cheers of "buttery toast!" It was heartwarming to see him enjoying passing out his birthday treat and the excitement in everyone's eyes for a treat from Jonah that was just like the character in the book. Such a great day it was for Jonah and his classmates together!
