field trip to riverview h.s. planetarium today.

3rd time ever nicklaus had ever ridden on a school bus.

the high point...holding an actual meteorite.

low point...teacher mom keeping him in check.

lots of fun had anyway.

i love watching him interact with his friends.

 

 

field trip with his lnn group today.

this boy loves to gather information.

definitely has a thirst for knowledge.

they snapped pictures...

he read facts.

they looked at jellyfish...

he read an entire wall of information on the giant squid.

they crawled through the turtle net...

he investigated the turtle wall.

he was pretty thorough...

air-wick has become his best buddy.

he either has him by the fin or foot.

tonight little was telling him stories while coloring.

there was a moment of panic when he couldn't see air-wick behind the coloring book.

but he laughed it off with a silyee penguin...

assuming that air-wick was hiding.

 
meet eric...

little's first build a bear.

he has had a thing for penguins for about a year now.

saw happy feet 2 in the theatre this morning.

didn't even think twice about what animal he wanted to make at brooks' party.

when you push his flipper, his bowtie lights up.

when you push it 2 times in a row,

you can count all the way to twenty-ten.

we gather the inks and stamps.

they decorate the fronts, borders, or every white space in little's case.

then we discuss...

things we have done at our friends' houses.

ideas of what would be cool.

if it needs to go on more than one list to stress the importance.

seeds are planted.

others deemed if possible for santa.

finishing off the list of demands...

thoughts of well wishes, safe travels, and requests for our elves.

the yearly viewing of home alone with grammagrampa.

traditions in full swing.
