The real life funny section
The car is the place to learn oh so much about my kids, the front seat being the best in the house. I really don't know why it works this way but without electronics they are like cups running over.
#1 spilling his guts as we drove through bush wildlife like this:
I think I am going to bring my wife and kids to live in the country just like we do. The city is dangerous and I want my kids to be athletic. I hope to have a boy because then I can get him involved in Tae Kwon Do and baseball.
Did you know that Moses had a Father-in-law that the Bible talk about? I didn't ever get what it says about him, but interesting that he cared about this detail. (Truthfully it wasn't until recently that I understood Moses got divorced but that's beside the point).
#2 coming from the far back seat (why she sat way back there when it was just us three I will never know), "I am going to name my daughter Cabrihana." Ok, where did you find that name? (keep in mind she is reading a book about a dog named Patches. "From the H2O show Avery showed me."
This show is NOT one I approve of, but just another example of how even if parents you know and trust have your children at their house with their kids, it does NOT mean they choose the same media.
A couple nights ago the smaller two dazzled with their ideas:
My youngest also is learning lines to be Linus in Charlie Brown Christmas at our church. In doing so there are several instances when the words choice used is less childlike for this day and age. So far only 7 of the 17 speaking parts in he pronounces the words ridiculous "ridicerous" and agony is another stumbler. I am NOT correcting him because it is sure to get a laugh from the audience in a super cute way.
He also had an early family birthday party last weekend. After taking his time to read every word on the cards he was given I did what I always do, recycle all but one or two. In true child fashion he fetched them out, counseling me on such "terrible" behavior and kept the cards. Before bedtime I find this:
He lined them up in the days of the week. Then upon heading to bed he reads a specific card for each day. How sweet is that! I suppose I shouldn't assume all people devalue cards like me!
Littlest is doing her own version of adorable by pretending to be her teacher. She quizzes me daily about my class and what I do too. Her most favorite past time in my classroom is fetching a giant bear from the storage behind my makeshift walls. The bear is then her student and he sure gets into a TON of trouble. It is good to see that her teacher must never yell since she too never does at him. But whisks him into the hallway with a chair and "gives him a talking to". I especially love her reading of books. Last night she requested me to read one, and then proceeded to sit on my lap reading her own book simultaneously. I was instructed to keep reading regardless of her listening. I suppose we were teaching together :)
I love my kids!!

That's cool, my oldest doesn't talk about anything anymore lol I need to get him speaking to me but on the plus side I think I finally got him sparked about writing and how to do it correctly!
ReplyDeleteHey getting boys to write is HUGE, maybe you can read about this stuff with him then...
