Dillon's book report

Brayden made a poster advertising one of the Harry Potter books for his latest book report.

Dillon was green with envy as he watched.

When I caught him counting on his fingers to see how long it would be until he was 10 and could do his own book report, I told him he could do a book report any time he wanted.

He chose "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom", and had a hard time going to sleep last night because he was so excited.  He got up and made his poster first thing this morning.

He wanted to print out a picture of a coconut tree on the computer, so we did.

He needed some letters, so I dug out my old scrapbook supplies and found some stickers.

He wanted his "i" to be lowercase, so he had to use an "espwuhnation point" (upside down, of course). He found a black pen to make the "black-eyed P".

He wanted to use the gold caligraphy pen, like Brayden, so he did.

He also wanted glitter, like Brayden, so we added some to the bottom of the page.

He carefully measured the sun in the book with his ruler, and then we used his compass to make a circle that was just the right size. After he cut it out, we checked the measurement...twice.

And when he had finished his magnum opus, he asked for breakfast.
