lots of energy

The cold, wet weather has left the Boy Wonder in our house with a terrible case of cabin fever.  For him cabin fever can quickly lead to things that require consequences and discipline.  So in order to help him channel his energy he can often be seen exercising around our house.

and ending with yoga to cool down

 We are grateful that soccer wasn't cancelled this week.  We played a double header last night and needless to say looked a little rusty.  But everyone had a good time, no one froze and Joshua enjoyed eating a picnic before his first game.

Joshua is growing up faster than should be allowed.  Tomorrow night we are going to the "Welcome to Kindergarten" Open House.  How is that possible!

This week while I was cooking supper he sat at the table and announced, "I am pretending to be a teenager.  I am 19.  I think that means I am in college."  He told us about how, "Me and my friend John are the only people in our class that do our work.  Everyone else just talks and plays.  But John and me are good college students and do our work."  He explained that he and John are roommates and that they met while in high school in Florida.  Joshua identified the fictional classmates that cheated off other student's papers and showed us how he shielded his work from the wandering eyes.  While telling this story he very intently worked on his "college student work" which may or may not have involved coloring in a sports related coloring book.  "This is my class book.  It is a sports class"  he announced.

Watch out kindergarten, the Boy Wonder is ready...if only he would apply his imagined focus and diligence to real life. :)
