Today concludes Alex's term as Star of the Week. The last thing he gets to do is tell everyone what the class "pet" did while Alex was taking care of it. The class pet is a stuffed cat named "Fluffy" and you get to carry it around in a cute little backpack and put notes about what you and Fluffy did throughout the week in a little notebook. Over the course of the week, Alex renamed the pet "Fuzzy" and decided the backpack was his.
As you can imagine, he was less than thrilled when I reminded him this morning that his turn with Fluffy/Fuzzy is done and now a different kid gets a turn. That little reminder was met with, "But it's mine." And I told him that no, it was in fact something everyone shares. "But it's mine." Yes, you had a turn this whole past week, but now someone else gets a turn. "But it's mine."
So I did the only thing I could think of to make the madness stop...made a date to go backpack and Fuzzy shopping after school.
