Every year the Kindergartner's of FPDS put on the Mother Goose Parade. Each child chooses a nursery rhyme from the book and dress as that rhyme. From The Real Mother Goose book we choose "Pat-A Cake". It was one of the only rhymes that didn't require Jake to wear tights!
Here's my boy as "Baker's Man Jake". I realize having an apron monogramed may be a bit over the top. But when you have the hook-up with Tamah like I do, you can't help yourself. He was so darn cute the morning he left for the parade!
And here they all come with "Mother Goose" leading the parade. I must tell you that I had no idea what a big deal this parade was, but the streets were lined with spectators from everywhere!
Here are the Three Blind Mice. There were lots of those!
More of the same.
And here's my little Baker's man whose hat had fallen flat.
Mr. John Quitman as Rain, Rain, Go Away. His, for me, was the most original one out there. Good job, Laura!!
Each Kindergarten teacher (other then the Mother Goose) was one of the Piggies from the nursery rhyme "Five Toes". They looked great!
Mrs. Pittman in disguise.
Jake with the "Queen of Hearts" herself, Abby Huff.
Let me tell you about the French Loaf Jake brought as a prop. You would have thought the children in Jake's class were starved on a daily basis. Piranha's do not do as much damage to their prey as those children did to that bread. After those children worked that bread over, there was not a crumb to be found!! In all my 32 years I have never seen anything like it! They were like vultures surrounding the table were the bread was, all fighting to get their share! 
Mary Robinson and her piece of the action.
Jake with his buddies from class.
The Cow Jumping Over the Moon was a pretty good one, too!
Jake and John Quitman
Free at last! Baker's Man Jake was ready to go home and start Spring Break!If you are considering sending your child to FPDS, start thinking now what your little one might be in The Mother Goose Parade. It's never too soon to start planning!
