Here are some of my favorite quotes (the ones that I can remember, at least…) from the afternoon. Unfortunately, there is no way to recreate the boys’ voices and inflection. I was in stitches the entire time. Would it always be so entertaining if both kids were your own??? The boys were in the backseat playing with the sunglasses and hats they had:

‘We are stylish.’ ‘We like to be stylish.’ ‘We like to be stylish to be/for _____. ‘ (this continues back and forth for a minute or two) ‘We like to be stylish to be silly.’ (pause) ‘But L, you already ARE silly…’

Also in the car:

‘I am an elephant. Do I look like an elephant? You look like an elephant.’ ‘Let’s be elephants. ( hands and fingers held up like tusks…) I’m going to charge your mama.’ ‘GET THAT MAMA!!!’

The boys had an in depth discussion about colors. After going back and forth for a while, this was how it ended:

‘I like ALL the colors in the rainbow. Even pink. But pink isn’t in the rainbow.’ ‘I like pink, too. Shortstack’s mom, did you know pink is the new boy color?’

Unfortunately, anyone who’s interested will have to click on “View Full Picture” below each image to be able to read the pages. Guess which page is our favorite?

For those of you who don’t know, Shortstack is already reading. He does the alphabet activities with his classmates, but each child in the class also works from their own ‘planbook’ with activities designed specifically for them. He also has special reading and writing assignments to bring home to work on at his own pace.
