One Little Indian

Jake's been learning about the Pilgrims and Indians at school in preparation for Thanksgiving.  He LOVES learning about Indians.  In fact, I don't think I've seen him this excited about anything other than sports and presents!  His teacher even commented that we might have a history buff on our hands!  At school, all the kids got Indian names and made an Indian vest, headband and necklace in preparation for their Thanksgiving feast.  Jake was Gray Wolf, and for a few days insisted on us calling him that.  I couldn't wait for the feast b/c I knew Jake would be really happy to wear his homemade Indian outfit.  Finally the day arrived.  Introducing Gray Wolf...

All the classes sit on blankets in the gym for the feast.  Here are Jake's fellow Indians...

and a full body shot...

Finally, I'm happy to share a picture of Jake and his friend, Nicolas.  These boys formed a fast friendship the very first day of school!  It's been fun hearing Jake talk about him and the things they do together.  We've had the chance to do a playdate with Nicolas away from school, and his mom told me Nicolas says Jake is his, "BFFFFFF."  How cute is that! 

The two most handsome Indians I've ever seen!
