The last time you’ll see a third grader

He drew a sad face, with tears filling two containers.  The boy has big feelings, especially when something ends.  Everyday for the whole school year, he’d protest going to school.  Today, he cried that the school year was over, that his teacher had left the school (she actually left months ago, and he’s had a long term sub), that 3rd grade was the best.  Big feelings for a big kid.

 

Field day is the best day

So close yet so far

 

This is Cinnamon.  She sees the toy, hanging to the lamp shade.  Juuuuust out of reach.

Spring break fun

His sweet tattoo he got at school daycare ‘School Village’.  Kids get to run stores like a town for the day.  The boy spent some of his play money on a half sleeve.  The blue ‘stitches’ on his tummy is from a game of

From another country

My son has a speech delay, so he has a hard time communicating.  He often gets creative, using descriptions or even drawings to get his ideas across.  Some times it works better than others.  But, hey, our president has a speech impediment, and he has a successful life, so that gives me hope.

 Son: mom, can you make those crackers you made 

Me: ???

Son:  they’re round, and they have blue in there

Me: ???

Son: (draws a picture of just a circle filled in) 

Husband: is that the cracker?

Son: it’s a cookie…from another country 

Me: (looking at the drawing of a blue circle)??  Do you mean a macaron?

Son: Yes. You better make those, mom
