Catching up
I just found a whole pile of little notes that I never got online.
Here are a few with more later:
Smarts
I met the family at a restaurant one evening. When they arrived, Brother, five at the time, was surprised to see me. He said, "You are smarter than we are. You're already here."
Learning to read
As he learned letters Brother was amazed at what he could find.
"I found two tickets" (anything that started with the letter t he called a ticket)
"Ferris wheel has the word 'fair' in it."
"And when you say, 'oh', it has the letter o in it."
A new show
After he asked a time or two we agreed to DVR Power Rangers. Four at the time Brother aptly commented, "You know my life hasn't change much Power Rangers. Really things aren't that different."
Perspective
Brother declared, "I have an exciting future ahead of me." Of course we agreed and then learned he was just talking about that day, which included a school picnic and plans for camping. He was five.

Bored
Saturday Brother had nothing but complaining about running errands and not getting to stay home. Within an hour after we got home..,"I'm bored".
Don't want to forget
Even the regular days and things have their own goodness. The day is a moment in itself, and it is shocking how fast it goes. This morning for example, Sis insisted that she wear one of each color barret that was in her clothes - blue, white, pink, green, yellow. She wore them all. Brother was dismayed. This week is state apptitude testing and he did not feel prepared enough for the math section because he had missed that specfic review (because he was in the gifted program). Love those littles!

Rain, rain go away
It was raining this morning so, as Sis said, I had to put the lights and swipers on.
