Show and Tell

Another thing that Daddy neglected to mention until the night before the Mommy and Child Thanksgiving Lunch was that it was a celebration of everyone's heritage and we were supposed to bring in food that represents our heritage and do a show and tell with our child about our heritage. Considering ourselves to be American mutts, Ben and I weren't sure what to do about this.  We decided to print out a world map and color in England, Ireland, Germany, and Sweden (to our best recollections, where our families had come from at some point in the distant past). I also gave Dexter a couple of Euros to show - he was excited that one had grooved edges and looked like a gear. Being an avid and expressive dancer, we also coached Dexy on how to dance an Irish jig (he totally got into that!) and we both ended up dancing in front of everyone. Most of the other Moms and kids brought flags.  Our show and tell was definitely the most dynamic of the bunch.
