My brilliant, funny children
We went to the zoo this past weekend. We also braved Chuck E. Cheese in the same day. It was all for Micah's birthday - however, we will NEVER do that much in one day again. There were some MAJOR meltdowns by 6pm! We saw lots of neat animals at the zoo...never thought "Naked Mole Rats" would be an exciting exhibit...pleasantly surprised...and disturbed at the same time. My favorite exhibit was the Meerkats. I have never watched the show, but supposedly they have a whole show (reality tv at it's peak). There are many different roles each Meerkats plays within the Meerkat family - one being "The Protector". Well, "The Protector" stood on top of a tree stump on his hind legs and stood guard, watching all of the silly human beings parade by him. Noah said, "You see the king?" as he pointed to "The Protector". Noah said, "That is the king of the Mary Cats." Yes Noah, that is the king!
As I was dropping Micah at his daycare class the other day his teacher approached me..."Um, Mrs. Bryant....Micah...." This is never a good start to a conversation with his teacher and I immediately replied, "What did he do?" She said, "Oh, nothing...but he...he is BORED!" She went on to say that he is her comic relief during circle time. The other children sit around...looking lost. Micah says, exasperated, "It's an A. It's a W. Today is Tuesday. The color is purple." She said, "He looks at the other kids like - Come on people, let's get through this so we can go play already." She then went on to say, "So, I hope you don't mind....I am working on addition with him." Mind? Teaching my child addition? In Pre-K? Why would I mind?
Let's just go ahead and admit the kid to Ohio Wesleyan University in the fall! Who needs kindergarten???? :)
