My sonshine

I was thinking about some of the things Fox has done this week and wanted to share them :

1. He dragged his plastic science kit into the bath and I gave him a bag full of old hotel toiletries. He has since been creating "experiments" in the bath every night ;)

2. Two nights ago Fox cut his own hair. Apparently safety scissors for children that are guaranteed to "only cut paper" with cut hair. Who knew? I spent the next hour cutting his hair trying to hide the bald spot he chopped right on top of it.

3. Last night he put together a 100 piece Bakugan puzzle almost entirely by himself. I guess I will be buying more puzzles this summer.

4. I introduced Fox to "Calvin and Hobbes". While reading the comics to him I came to the stunning realization that I gave birth to a Calvin, really. I'm absolutely dreading his start in public school last year, because I suspect it will involve lots of calls to me from his teacher. Fox doesn't do "sit down quietly" very well.

5. His new favorite catchphrase is "Holy Broccimoli!". We've tried to persuade him that it should be "Guacamole" but he isn't detered. He says it constantly and it sounds hilarious ;)

Enough Mommy bragging for now @_@

(no subject)

Fox has woken up coughing and with a very sore throat. I will be watching him carefully for fever the next few days. If he is sick, we have a problem because I have used all my sick and personal time now, and Tomu can't take time off this week. If he is sick, I can only hope our school will close so I can stay home with him.

Everyone was exposed to flu because the students who attended our alternative school (i.e. discipline problems) all came to our school on Friday instead. Yes, it makes sense to bring kids from a school that has multiple cases of flu to the campus that has had none. Our superintendent is an idiot @_@
