So, we gathered some stuff up this weekend for his presentation. He says it went well. Today after school, I made him go through it again so I could record it for prosperity.
His teacher said he could use any kind of bag: plastic grocery bag, backpack, etc; but whatever they bring had to fit inside that bag. Travis insisted that it be 'a bag he liked'. We used the drawstring athletic bag we'd bought for soccer camp this year.
Item #1: Slinky Dog from the movie Toy Story. My boys have quite the collection of Toy Story characters, but ol' Slink is Travis's favorite. Travis said the teacher asked who in the class had seen the Toy Story movies, and he said everyone raised their hands.
Item #2: Colts shirt, because his favorite team is the Colts. Apparently, the same is true for Loki and McKenna.
Item #3: Swim trunks; because he loves swimming, like we just did at the beach, or when visiting grandma and pa-pa at the lake. He's wearing them on his head here; I don't think he did that at school.
Item #4: Picture of him and his brother and sister, because "I love my brother and sister!"
Item #5: Yellow chicken hat (with autograph from "The Chicken"), because a) he likes the Silverhawks and b) he likes being silly. Travis said everyone but McKenna laughed when he put on this hat. I asked him why he thought McKenna didn't laugh, and he said it was because she wanted something else to be funny. Hm.
Item #6: Football. Reason is obvious.
So that's that. I think Travis did a good job of representing himself in a knapsack.
There were two other boys assigned for today, but one of them was sick. So the only other kid that went today was Travis's little buddy, Evan. I asked Travis what Evan brought. Here's what he said:
I kind of laughed and sarcastically asked, "was it a book about video games?" And Travis responded, "Oh, right! Yes, it was a book about the Spiderman video game and how to beat it!" Sounds like a well-rounded kid.
(Just kidding, we like Evan, he's a very nice little boy. He is just apparently very into video games right now. We went to his birthday party this summer and I happen to know that he also likes Toy Story, and Spongebob. So he's not all that one-dimensional.)
Oh, and here's Sophie, playing along:
Item #7: "SuperFriends" book because he likes to read and he likes super-heroes.
Item #8: Mario and Luigi. He loves Mario and Luigi. I asked him if anyone else in the class liked the Super Mario Brothers, and he said all the boys did.

1. 2 video games
2. A video game controller
3. A little piece off of his Wii
4. A book
