Next day Bridget arrives at school and she has a substitute named Mr. Willis. He is bald and wears glasses and unusual clothes. His voice is interesting, and he is very specific about their tasks: Now we will do this for the next 4 minutes. (Bridget acted out for us how he seemed nervous as he wrung his hands while talking to them). He plays football with the boys at recess. He's serious.
Not until AFTER LUNCH did he disclose his true identity.
IT WAS MR. YOUNG!
But Mr. Young has lot's of hair on his head and face... He shaved it all!
But Mr. Young doesn't wear glasses... he found some!
But Mr. Young ALWAYS wears dress pants, shirt, tie and black converse sneakers...apparantly he has a few other choices in his closet!
But Mr. Young is not nervous or too serious...but forced himself to be!
But Mr. Young never plays football at recess...
These are the things that kept Bridget wondering all morning who this Mr. Willis in her classroom truly was. But admitted that she thought it could have been his brother because there was something about him that seemed familiar!! He is good if he kept it going through lunch.
I think he's read this
It may have been a while since you've seen this side of Bridget...enjoy!
On a Sunday Night when Bridget is accessorizin' with the little kids:
...while Luke and Adam put the finishing touches on his science project

aw, we miss you guys! Bridget's teacher sounds so fun! Those sunday dress up pictures remind me of us, only we were in sparkly circle skirts (pink and burgundy panels), a pink shawl, and mom's wedding dress. Fun times. You've inspired me to seek out some new dress ups for my kids. To the bargain barn I go! Thanks!
Her teacher is a dream!! All kids need a teacher like that. I wish Grace was there to accessorize with her. And Luke's science project looks awesome!
Mr. Young sounds like such a hoot. How fun! Love that pic of Bridget :)
