Our oldest just turned 8 on
Our oldest just turned 8 on the 17th. He is so not into athletics (although he did show interest in running there for awhile, and barefoot to boot). He's more into science, reading, and playing his guitar. Last night's prebedtime activity consisted of sticking pennies and nails into potatoes (then apples upon mommy's suggestion) and hooking up current to each one to see how much electricity could be generated and to turn a light bulb on and off. Guess which one generates more electricity? Potatoes or apples? Come on, guess! APPLES! That's right!
Now our youngest is into anything and everything that could possibly cause pain. He got into trouble the other day in Pre-K 3 for wrestling with William. He did not get a sticker, and he was upset. I asked him "how" was he wrestling that was so bad. He said he kept putting William here and then there, then over here, then over there. I said oh no! I told daddy about it, and he said oh no too! He had been wrestling with the boys the night before, and he was "putting them here and putting them there..." I told the teacher it was all my hubby's fault, and she said not to worry, since ALL the boys in the class didn't get a sticker that day...they were ALL wrestling.
