We're in line at the zoo. He decides to play the "What does a ____ eat?" game. The people in line were treated to this: What does an eagle eat? --I dunno. Small animals, fish... What does a cat eat? --Uh, cat food. What does a dead cat eat? --Nothing, bro, dead cats don't eat. What do angry dogs eat? --Probably dog food, lol. What do robocats eat? This went on for the entire long wait in line. It definitely made the wait easier.  |

Love it. He's a gift, seriously. My two older kids would just bitch about the line and the wait. G will play "hypothetical science questions". Bad me, I used to worry about him bothering other people. Then I started watching their reactions.
There are just some kids who see life in the moment. For them, every moment is a moment just as valid as any other, rather than an obstacle to get to the "good moments". It's like they refuse to let us take that from them. If we let it be the lesson it ought to be, it's a complete paradigm shift. Outsiders want to label it. Smart parents see it for what it is: Awesomeness. Pure awesomeness.

The story he wrote at school: "The sun is angry and mad and he's a bunny. Yep weird. He has feet. The sun is angry. The bunny has feet. The sun doesn't have feet. The end!" I love his stories.  |

Tonight, on the way home...
Kid: Dad!
Dad: What do you need?
Kid: *mumble mumble mumble*
Dad: I can't help you if I can't hear you.
Kid: YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CRASH INTO THE SUN!!!
Dad: ..... Uh, deal.

I just picked him up from school. He's wearing sunglasses that we don't recognize, so I asked him where they came from.
Son: I got them from Ms. Kirsty. (His occupational therapist at school.)
Me: That's great! Are you being a good boy for Ms. Kirsty? (Not usually...)
Son: Yeah! I didn't punch her!!
Me: Uh. Good for you! (?)

 He might find it more difficult to resist as he gets older, lol! |

He's playing a game on his tablet, and apparently lost. He groans real load and consoles himself by saying, "If at first you don't succeed, blame it on your parents."
Damn Animaniacs. >: (

We haven't had a whole lot of luck with his Occupational Therapists. He's had 5 now in the last 3 years, with fill-ins for vacations, maternity leaves, etc. Last week, his 5th OT left and today he met another fill-in. This one is an older guy, tall, bald. Definitely a departure from the small women he's used to working with. OT (introducing himself to R): Hi, I'm Kenneth. Do you want to come play me? R: Hi! Yeah, let's go! They walk a few steps and then R looks up at him. R: I like your hair! Cracked up the entire lobby.  |

I bet it'll be really good for him to have a male OT. Just like I really wish there were more male elementary teachers. Little boys don't have enough fun male authority figures in their lives in my experience. I like male teenagers for babysitters too.

Agreed. He looked really happy to meet his new OT for once. And no reports of defiance either, which usually goes with the territory.

Belated birthday lunch. We stopped by my favorite Italian restaurant and ate waaaay too much. B was complaining about how full he was and made a "I have a food baby" hand gesture.
Girl: What was that for? You think you're fat?
B: Well, I certainly feel fat.
Boy: YOU'RE NOT FAT!!! Are you big-boned?
I'm not even sure where he learned that phrase.

Shopping after lunch. Girl is loading her Pokemon toys into her new purse. R: I want a boy pocket! Me: Are you talking about a purse? R: Yeah, I want a boy purse. So glad B's not in the car right now. We're going shopping again after this stop. I think I'll look for a boy purse while I'm out. LOL  |
