Where does the time go? This week we got a kindergarten "report card" for Thing 1. He's doing fine, but there's a section on the back where we parents are supposed to put down our child's strengths. Ask me any day and I can rhyme off 20 things he's super-good at. Put me in front of a piece of paper to write them down? *Blank stare*
Ok, he's great at reading, way ahead of where a 5½ year-old normally is, I'm sure. But how do you put down things like "knows how to use all the remotes in the house better than mom" or "can point out that you moved his picture frame one inch to the left of where it was last week" or "can become completely fixated and focued on the TV when Jake and the Neverland Pirates is on, to the point where he actually cannot hear anything else"? I kid, I kid. Like I was any different as a kid, right? My cousin used to babysit me, and he always says "you were the easiest kid to babysit; I just put you in front of the TV". That might explain the unhealthy love affair I have with TV. But hey, this isn't really supposed to be about me...
Back to Thing 1, I guess I'll have to turn his talents listed above to: loves using technology, very observant, and excellent ability to focus and concentrate...
Ciao!
