The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.
5th grade for Jill, this year, has brought alot of new adventures her way. Harder math. Having 4 teachers. Making new friends. Being a part of the student council. And learning to play the violin.
I played in the 5th grade and wish it was something that i would have never put down. Even if i didn't make a career out of playing, i just wish i still knew how to play. Her enthusiasm for such a beautiful instrument has inspired me to dust mine off...restring it and have her reteach me a thing or two this year. I am glad that this is something she wanted to do on her own and is showing so much joy in learning something new. I hope she never puts it down.
