Ethan was absolutely thrilled to finish his first year of AWANAs. He memorized a verse a week every week since he started in September. He memorized 31 verses this AWANA club year! He had fun at the awards night but he was pretty nervous at first. He had his moments at first, simply because he'd never been a part of anything like this ever before. He had always watched but never been on the stage. He warmed up to it, thanks to a special airplane that was given to him by his good friends Kaden and Maddison Strickland. That eased his mind and he got into his groove. For more on that see the video! Ethan did a great job and had a lot of fun. He also enjoyed that his dad got to be Cubbie Bear and wear the suit. This means I was sweating like a stuffed sow so all the kids could get a picture with Cubbie Bear. My pores will never be the same. If I were them I would dry clean that suit for sure! When I took the Cubbie Head off my head looked like I had gotten out of the pool.
The best part was Levi. HE HATES mascots and the like, so he was not happy to see daddy don the Cubbie Suit. It was traumatizing and he did not want to talk to me after the evening. I got in the suit with him in the room to see if that would help, but as soon as I put the Cubbie Bear head on an ear piercing shrillness shrieked out of his little lungs and he had to leave the room with his mom.....very funny for us, very traumatic for Little Snicklepus.
