Technically, St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, but for the boys, it's today because of their school celebration. Their daycare doesn't miss a chance to celebrate a holiday. Also, their daycare doesn't miss a chance to have a parade. So, here's Charlie dressed in his finest green attire. It just so happens that his finest attire is green - a green plaid shirt/cord overall combo. He is also sporting an heirloom (read: stained hand-me-down) bib and a vintage (read: clean hand-me-down) cap. I love his wisps of hair showing under the cap - his green ensemble really emphasizes the red in his hair. Our little Irish lad. I have a sneaking suspicion that he will be able to fetch a kiss or two today.
The boys have been learning about St. Patrick's Day at school, too. In addition to looking at a basket of potatoes (yes, that happened), Henry learned about leprechauns and rainbows and pots of gold. He also learned that if someone isn't wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, he is allowed to pinch them. I have a feeling I am going to regret being the one to have taught him that last tradition. According to Charlie's class report, he and his baby friends learned about the color green and "St. Patrick, the Irish Catholic."
