A Day with Boris


Last week our family got the priviledge of having Boris the Bear in our home for a day. Boris the Bear is Hunter's kindergarten class bear, and he travels home with the kids twice during the year. He gets to go on all sorts of adventures - trips across the country, soccer practices, easter egg hunts, doctor and dentist appointments. Then we fill out a page in his journal so the rest of the class knows what he's been up.

Hunter LOVES when Boris comes - he's a bear lover anyway. He's had his own Mr. Bear since his 1st birthday. We knew a few days in advance, and the anticipation was killing him.

That Wednesday Hunter came running off the bus - with Boris' head peeking out of his backpack - YEAH! He was so happy to finally have him home. Boris ate lunch with Hunter - they had chicken nuggets with LOTS of ketchup. Then Hunter got Mr. Bear up from his "nap", and Boris and Mr. Bear got to play together, and watched SpongeBob Squarepants with Hunter. It was soon time to pick up Shianne and take her to dance, and Boris got to go with us. He loved looking at all the trophies. Then he got to go with us to Big 5 and pick out all of Hunter's baseball gear: mitt, bat, balls, shoes, socks and pants. After picking up Shianne after dance, Boris headed out with the family to China Dragon for dinner - but he stayed in the car so as not to get any sticky sweet'n'sour sause on him.
By bedtime, Boris, Mr. Bear, and Hunter were exhuasted. I think it's safe to say that they all slept well. Good Night Boris! Thanks for visiting our family!!
