There are many things you
know to expect when you become a parent. There will be diapers, tantrums,
messes, cute ‘out of the mouths of babes’ sayings, etc. There are some things
that have you shaking your head and wondering, “What possessed him/her to do
that?” We had one of the latter recently.
Oliver attends the Camp Fire
What was Oliver’s reaction?
He turned around and mooned
her.
Yes, our son when presented
with such a sweet gesture dropped his pants and showed this little girl his
behind. Maya’s reaction was to laugh. Oliver got in trouble which distressed
Maya. He was quite remorseful and embarrassed which made me feel a little bit
better. No reason to spend a lot of time explaining why you don’t moon people.
A week later, she gave him this
Valentine:
Oliver is doing well in
school. Recently, his class has been working on a weekly dictation where the
kids study a sentence in Spanish and then must say the sentence in Spanish,
explain in English and write in Spanish, including correct capitalization and
punctuation. It’s pretty impressive to see his language skills growing so
quickly. So far he has been getting 100%. His teacher told us that she is
having to make his dictation a bit more difficult because he is catching on
pretty quickly. Below is an example of his latest dictation. Love that extra
credit!
Oliver is fascinated with
animals and has recently changed what he plans to do when he grows up. So far
he has wanted to be a comedian, a builder, and a traveling artist. Lately, it
is to become a traveling animal rescuer. Oliver is still a very curious little
guy. Most of his sentences these days start with, “Did you know…..?” And he
fills us in on something he has learned.
“Did you know a porcupine
quill is really just a super strong hair????”
