Yesterday was "Noah's ark day" at MVCA. Student's dressed up as animals from kindergarten to 12th grade. We were headed home the evening before and I asked Ryan what he was going to be. He didn't have any defined answers. I believe his answer was "uh... maybe a cat or something easy". When we got home I pulled out a piece of material from my material bin and started tying some ears.... it didn't really look can like so I asked "how about a bunny?" Let me just stop here and say how much I love this kid. What other 17 year old boy would say... "sure". So the following day I had socks for paws, more sock for a tail, these funny ears, and he was even up for some face painting. I must say... he looked pretty good... for being a 17 year old bunny. I didn't stop smiling for a few hours after leaving for work. Totally made my day, and I don't think it was too embarrassing for him at school. Leo went as a "lion".... kinda. I asked if he wanted some face painting, but he was satisfied with the (rice sized) lion emblem on his long sleeved white shirt. Maybe next year I'll be able to convince him with my face painting abilities. :) (and maybe not.)
As and end remark. Please notice the halo hovering over Ryan's sly little bunny face. I'm not sure if he's THAT angelic. (but he has been a blessing.)

What a great costume. I am glad he was willing to allow himself some fun. Maybe Leo Lion just was in to much pain to enjoy the lightness of the day. We are praying for some relief and information soon!
