– 8 yr old 

Charting the kids growth.

Took the 5 yr old to first day of camp week at Veritas. For a before school starts activity week for the classes to get to know each other. Oh my. Tears. Not really screaming, but just got a call from the teacher that he finally calmed down and joined the rest of the class. It’s been two hours.

I call it stubborn (gets that from his mother).

Mom: Why are there watermelon seeds all over the kitchen table?
5 yr old: Cause that’s what you do with them, you spit them out!!!!

The boy’s end of school writing project. Written under inspiration of the Mr Men books from his dad’s childhood, it’s about Mr Backward meeting Mr Forward.

The kicker is that he wrote the text backward. To emphasize the story I say, to hide his story from the rest of the class he says. Oh, and he had to read it to the entire class and parents the other day. Flawless.
