Thankfully the teachers at school are smart enough to know that twins should have their VIP weeks scheduled pretty close together. After having a short week for the Thanksgiving holiday, we geared up this week for Silas to take the VIP spotlight.
I realized a few weeks ago when I caught Silas randomly reciting the Pledge of Allegiance that he already has it memorized. Part of being the VIP involves holding the flag pole during the PoA. Both S&Z have been pretending to do this using a pink toy broom that they got for their birthday. On Thanksgiving I was on the phone with my mom when I noticed that Silas was wearing the pilgrim hat they made in school last week. He was also holding the broom and chasing after Zoe yelling "SAY THE UNITED STATES!!!" over and over again. I realized that he was pretending to be VIP (pilgrim hat = crown and broom = flag pole) and he wanted Zoe to recite the PoA, which she doesn't know yet (as far as I know). Needless to say, Silas was ready to shine as VIP this week!
We finished his poster on Sunday night. He is excited because it will ultimately get hung up in their room next to where we hung Zoe's poster at the end of her reign as VIP.

He was in a great mood on Tuesday morning as we headed to school.
As soon as we put his poster up at the front of his class, several of his friends came over to see it.
Today Derek and I were back in the classroom so that Derek could read the story of Silas' choice for his VIP circle time. Upon arrival at school he got his crown.
The book that Silas chose for Daddy to read was "Pizza at Sally's", which of course is about food and cooking :)
Happy VIP Week, Silas!!! I can't wait for our trip to the Aquarium tomorrow!
