Four Year Old Gratitude

Matt's classroom project this week was to create a "place mat of gratitude," where he cut out pictures from magazines that represent the things that have the most meaning to him. Matt's place mat is an ode to the bizarre inner workings of a four year old brain:


Matthew is thankful for:

Abbey. The little four year old sweetheart in his Pre-K class. The lovebirds are still going strong.

A pink seahorse and a yellow starfish. Because, obviously, colorful sea animals are awesome.

Behr Paint Chip, Mint Green. Interior decorating deserves a lot of gratitude.

Gummy Vitamins. We should all be thankful for nutrition masquerading as candy. It's brilliance in marketing at its finest.

A T.V. That beloved opiate of the masses.

A happy horse. Sad horses are the pits.

The color blue. Should I be concerned that he selected the life insurance advertisment for this one?

Playing in the leaves. Best. Fun. Ever.

A dog. We don't have a dog. This is Matt's attempt at subliminal advertising- he wants a dog.

Mom. Awww... (position on aforementioned dog weakening). I'm thankful for you, too, little buddy.
