fourth handprint

Each year, during Ledger's first week of school, we pull out the old handprint board.  Since he first went to preschool we have had him put his hand in paint and make a print on the six foot board.  The plan is for this thing to have 14 prints by the time he graduates from school (12 grades, plus kindergarten and preschool) and see how much he has grown over the years.  I've mentioned it before here: 1st, 2nd, 3rd.  Each year going out and picking a new paint color is part of the tradition as well, this year he picked red.  I always keep him under strict control until we do the actual hand print, after that though, he usually goes a bit nuts and does some face and body painting!  It took a bit of a creepy turn this year with the paint being red...
