Minisnick made it to the 5 point club yesterday at school.  I'll have to keep an eye on the local paper over the next couple days...the principle at his school tends to make a big deal about the 5 pt club and posts picture/notion in the paper.  He has read 10 books by himself since he started the accelerated reader program a couple months ago.  I couldn't read in kindergarten...there was only 1 person that could in our grade at the time.  Definitely pushing kids harder earlier now a days.

Mini-ble1 loves to read. I don't remember when he started reading during kindergarten, but it seems like ever since he started 1st grade it's clicked and he can't get enough. He just finished Harry Potter and the Sorcrer's Stone this weekend and has started The Chamber of Secrets. I told him as he finishes the books we'll watch the movies, so we started the movie after the Super Bowl on Sunday. We didn't get to finish it, but it was cool listening to him tell you what he remembered from the book and what wasn't in the book.

They sure do need us to fill out a lot of forms for Kindergarten.

although after the COS they get drastically darker so he might have to wait a few years to read the rest.

^Yea, we'll have to see once he finishes COS. I've only read the first one, so I might go ahead and read the rest of them as well so that I can see what he is going to read.

 

[snickerd3]

the scariest thing in COS is chicken blood used to write on walls and a battle with a huge ass snake.  The third one has hooded/cloaked skeletal creatures that can suck the life out of you and the beheading of a magical creature but not super scary.  The rest do get gruesome and dark.   

 

[knight1fox3]

Eh, POA isn't too bad either.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Up to the third book, POA, is probably appropriate.  GOF is definitely a bit dark for young un's, starting with the murder of the housekeeper, then the murder of Diggory, and finally the ceremony to revive Voldemort including bones of his father and Pettigrew chopping off his hand.

woohoo, minisnick endend up getting promoted to level 3 swim lessons.  We figured he would have to repeat level 2 since he has some confidence issues and tries to hold his nose more than trying to make it across the pool.  

 

[snickerd3]

woohoo, probably had a full uninterrupted sleep 5 out of the last 7 nights.

Mini-Tex got his braces off today!  Now, let's see how long it takes for him to lose his retainers...

My daughter learned a new song at school. It goes something like this: "big, fat, unicorns pooping out rainbows..."

:facepalm:

You should be very proud of that

 

[matt267 PE]

I can't help but think how well she'll fit in here at eb.com.

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

Sad and scary, but my youngest got his drivers license today. Damn I'm getting old.

 

[matt267 PE]

Ken you're not old. You're just wiser.

"Dad - is it OK if I say 'crap'?"

"Go to your room."

That was this weekend's conversation.  Not sure if that one trumps previous weekend's "Dad - what's a prostate?"

Well played @willsee , well played.
