top ten list of great and interesting things about my son, the duke of fun...
10. he knows that madagascar has two airports...knowing him he's probably figured out the route to get to them, too...
9. he can create anything out of legos...today he made a "robotic slug"...
8. he is ready and willing to try new foods...recently he had a fascination with having pizza with anchovies, ordered them on the side one night, then promptly decided they weren't for him...but the look on his face when he first got that little tin and then opened it, pure excitement...
7. he runs track and is excited and enthusiastic about every race...even when he comes in third...even in a race with only three kids...
6. he can calculate tax to the exact cent...and recently he used his money to buy a very complicated game with a lot of pieces and woke up at 5 a.m. ready to play...while he waited for the rest of us to get up, he arranged the pieces in different ziploc bags "so they don't all get mixed up and it's easier to set up"...a boy after my own heart...well, except for the getting up at 5 a.m. part...
5. he keeps asking me to teach him physics...i may have to donate him to n.a.s.a...
4. he is currently trying to figure out the best way to convince someone to put money on his now depleted target gift card...consider yourself warned...
3. he is learning to recognize and keep away from the creepy kids at the park...(finally!)...and recently we went to a toy store that had a wading pool filled with water to showcase the pool toys they were selling...the water was obviously old and very dirty and really gross...a definate boy magnet...and of course a bunch of boys his age were playing in it with the toys...the duke just walked by and said "hm, look at that water...boy that doesn't seem very healthy"...(yes!)
2. anytime his brother falls asleep on the couch or chair he will turn down the t.v., cover him up with a blanket, and come in to tell me we have to be quiet...
1. he lets me hold him when he's tired...
