Puppeteering!

I have been thinking lately about how kids love puppets; I know that is very strange. So, on the way home from work the other night I thought…why don’t Jonas and I do a puppet show for Jeb? I quickly hatched a plan to make a show about a dog who does not like going to school. Jeb did NOT want to go to school this morning so that is why I chose that for our skit. The cow was the MC and Timmy the Turtle, Harry the Horse, and Dummy the Dog (played by Jonas!) did an impromptu, non scripted, hilarious sketch about why school is fun and all the things that you learn at school. It was so funny that I was laughing until I was crying. Jeb was participating in answering the questions like a champ. He was a fabulous audience. Then, he decided to do his own show…which was even funnier. Jonas tried to put the moves on me while Jeb was behind the “curtain,” which was REALLY a hoot. The whole thing was a memory that I will laugh about for years when I think of it.
