Today the second grade held a "wax museum." Each kid had to dress up as an important cultural figure, then they posed in the gym while the other classes walked around and tried to figure out who was who. Max chose Dr. Seuss as his important cultural figure, which was great, but didn't tell me about the project until Tuesday night, which was not so great.
So Tuesday night involved a last-minute run to the fabric store and several drafts of a beard template that might work, and Wednesday I spent more time than I care to admit adjusting the frames from an old pair of sunglasses and sewing a multilayered beard that attached to the glasses. After that, it was just a matter of finding him a turtleneck, slicking back his hair, and liberally applying powder to make hair and beard gray. Add a star-bellied Sneetch (he got to carry a "clue" for the other kids), and he was good to go. And all of us had fun trying out the beard at various stages!
