Me: "Yeah you've told me about him.”
X: "Well I built a helicopter (or airplane depending on when he’s telling the story). and when I was done, C_____ asked me if I could build one and I said, sure"
Me: "Well that's nice.”
X: "When I was done he said WOW! THAT'S AWESOME! THANKS!"
Me: "Really?”
X: "Yeah. He was trying to be nice today but he still got in trouble. BUT he didn't miss recess today.”
Me: "Does he miss often?”
X: "Yeah EVERY DAY!”
Me: "Maybe you being nice to him made him have a better day and not get in so much trouble he missed recess.”
X: "Maybe”
Today we went to Art Cwass! In Art cwass we finished up our hot air bawoons on our yewwow paper.” In this high pitched squeal of a voice “Den we got to drawded on white paper!” I asked what he drew on white paper his reply was, in the same high pitched voice, “A castle for Medieval Madness.* First, I drew two triangles den I drawded two big lines like this…” He takes his finger and draws two, rather large perpendicular lines. “Den windows and den a door. Then all I need now is fwags!”
And Gideon’s words for the day, Mothers Day Out has taught him how to sing Jesus Loves Me in sign language…sort of.He sings:
Wes Jesus woves me,
Wes Jesus woves me,
Wes Jesus woves me,
I know the bible tells me I know.
In sign language, he can do the first part, but when he gets to the "the bible tells me so" part he just swirls his index finger around and around.
*Medieval Madness is a Clinton City Elementary PTO organized fundraiser that takes place on Saturday September 24th. According to the PTO peeps (Shannon and I attended our first PTO meeting last night) transform the school into this Medieval village with games, events, and food all to raise funds for the school. To see pictures from last year’s Medieval Madness go here.
Over the last few years the PTO has supplied all sorts of fun, interactive, and needed things for the school such as computers, online education tools, books, and over $24,000 for a new playground.
