Cut & Paste

Philip had the flu 2 weeks ago. Then we went skiing last week. So this week he brought home basically 2 weeks worth of school work to do. We got thru quite a bit last night but then he was just done. He could not stand the thought of doing any more. So we'll have to finish up the rest of it in the next day or so.

Apparently, cutting, pasting, and tracing is hard, tedious work for a 5-year-old.

Excitement

Philip came up to me this morning, "Mommy! You have to come see this!"

I had changed the desktop picture on the computer last night and he thought that was awesome!

Missing Hayden

Hayden has been staying at Tyler's place since basketball practice Friday night. Phil just came up and asked, "When is Hayden coming back?" "Should you go and take him back?"

I asked if he was missing Hayden.

He said (in a sad little voice), "Yes, I miss him."

Good-Bye, My Little Robot

So...Phil is no longer a robot. He hasn't been saying that much for the past few months and I finally asked him this weekend. He said the spell was broken and he is no longer a robot.

(I guess it was bound to end sometime ~ he's been a robot for about a year or so, I guess. Not sure when it started exactly but it ended about the time he started Kindergarten.)

Now he says he has an imaginary friend ~ Hayden. Not sure he understands what imaginary means but he insists Hayden is his best friend as well.

BBQ and Waffles

This morning Philip asked me for a stick of BBQ.

Huh?

So he went to the freezer and pointed at the top of the door.

Oooohhhh! Barbecue flavored beef jerky. Gotcha.

----------------------

Tonight he went to bed with a Eggo Waffle box on his head. He does this sometimes. So I said, "OK, waffle box, I guess you and I will do the prayer tonight."

I started doing the prayer and Phil threw off his box and yelled, "Boo!" So I, of course, said, "Ahhhhh!"

And he started laughing and laughing. He thought it was hysterical that he 'scared' me.

It's so funny to hear a little kid laugh like that.

Time for Sports

A couple of weeks ago, Philip came up to me and said just out of the blue, "I think I'd like to play tee-ball next year."

So, we'll see how this goes! Especially, with FOUR of them in base/soft/tee-ball at once! Holy crap! I kind of wished he would wait until Hayden could drive before he wanted to play sports!
