Not grumpy, just tired. And not enjoying things. Oh well, tomorrow might be better!

Well, we just got in from our "End of year" homeschool banquet my church homeschoolers do every year. They promote the students on to the next grade and give them a certificate of promotion. They also have a "graduation" for the kindergartners and give a monetary gift to the senior(s).
Matthew promoted to the third grade (although he started almost a month ago) and walked across the stage to get his certificate. He is so tiny, guys. He was smaller than some of the kindergarten kids. He would have never fit in in public school...maybe a private school, but never public. But he is blissfully unaware that there is anything unusual about a very tiny six year old being in 3rd grade! He is completely self-confident and happy.
I sat and watched him during the speaker...sitting so composed and attentive. I'm unbelievably proud of him.

Cool! Did the kids get a party too?

Oh, and let me tell you about Joshua (age 3)! Today, Matthew was taking a test and I asked Matthew "What is the two holes in your nose called?" Josh was lying on the floor and shrieked "NAW-STREELS!" It was hysterically funny!
Yesterday he asked me if my coffee was hot. I said "Not too hot." and Josh said "Speakin' of hot coffee...I like hot coffee. And speaking of liking hot coffee, I want some!" I just thought that was so funny!!
Oh and one more story...the other day, you know when we went to the park? Josh came down a slide and accidently hit a little boy about his age. The little boy whacked Josh in the arm and Josh lit into him! Arms flying like helicopter blades! I went running over and grabbed him but I was so stunned! The whole rest of the family is so passive, and Josh will tackle you just as soon as look at you! He's so different!

Josh is your Ginsu kid!

Josh is extreme. Just in every way. He's either extremely happy or very upset (but recovers quickly...he's got such a happy disposition he can't stay down long). He is very extremely affectionate. When he was a tiny newborn, he would reach up and grab my chin while nursing. To this day, even though he's been weaned since age 13 months, he will sit in my lap and hold on to some part of my face! Matthew is very "arms length" you know, but I have awoken many times in the night to find Joshua right beside me, sound asleep with a firm grasp on my ear! LOL I just lay him back down in his bed and he doesn't seem to mind.

To: Overtaxed
Hey - there is a nightlight in that pic! - Heck of a find!
To: Overtaxed
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah, he's a hoot...I wish I had a picture of him talking to the speakers that evening in chat! Now that was funny!
To: 2Jedismom
You tell him that the girl that lives in the computer says HI!
To: HairOfTheDog
I will! LOL Take care...good night!

Good night!

Congrats to Matthew and Mom! And that little one of yours sounds like my youngest; a little Mr. Independent! He was my traveller; he'd go out the front door and go walkabout the neighborhood. Thank God we live in a safe one! When he was about 4, Sir SuziQ installed a special lock on the front screen door to try to keep him in. About 15 minutes later he pulled a chair over, figured out how to unlock it, and was off! He's the one trying to build a Remote Control Lego Submarine. I'm going to have to put 'Engineering' down as one of the subjects he studied in homeschool this year! I wonder what our School Dept. would think of THAT?
