((I apologize if you already saw these pics on facebook))
My kids ask for A LOT of stuff. Toys, trips to the park, disneyland, chuck e cheese, you know how it is with kids. So when Max asked if he could meet the mayor, I thought, "Now that I can do!" I figured I would at least email our mayor, John Curtis, and see if we could drop by his office sometime. He answered right away and we visited yesterday. It was Max's idea, but the rest of us tagged along. He asked me several times that day "What's the mayor's name?" and when we walked in, he promptly shook his hand and said "Nice to meet you, Mayor John Curtis." hehe! I could tell he was nervous but excited.
In case you're wondering where he got the idea. Mayor Shelbourn from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! After watching that and The Music Man (Mayor Shinn), Max asked if we had a mayor in our town, too. Thank goodness for movies teaching my kids about the world. ;)
^Signing important documents, and not even in Kindergarten yet.
Max was just pleased as punch! He came home and told his friends all about it.
^ Two seconds before Simon pulled down that flag.
Check out Max's photo on the mayor's blog. Our cute little politician.

That is hilarious. He looks so cute. If he wants to make the mayor rounds I'm sure we can work something out with ty's dad:). Your a good mom for setting that up---made me smile.

Wow, that is great! I would have said, "No way and that the man is too busy!" This is fabulous! You have inspired me to think twice when my kids ask for something. Thanks.
Wait a second, here. Nobody told me you've got to wear a tie to meet the mayor.
Thanks for your example Max!
