He's a Thoughtful Kid

Lately there has been a lot of discussions about this summer.
Plans are being made.
Registration forms being filled out.
Fun Mom is in her groove....social, social, ministry, kids
Little Princess...camp, sounds like fun--sure, play, play, mud puddle making
The little two boys, just glad to have big brother free to play more since his school work is just about done.
Hockey Player, he is a thoughtful one.
Asked if he wanted to go to camp.
"I dunno, I like to be at home."
Can't argue with that.
We have encouraged him to think about it.
But the past couple of days, I have been blessed with a snapshot with how he thinks.
He started asking questions about camp.
Is the food good?
Will there be enough to fill me up?
How will I know when to get up for breakfast?
(Noticing a theme there--- FOOD!)
Fortunately, Fun Mom was full of information for him.
What will we do?
How do we know when and where?

The final verdict... He wants to go to camp. I am sure we will be sending him with plenty of canteen money. Dad and I will experience a big first around here. All 3 olders will be at camp. We will be left with only Daddy's Buddy and Flutter Nutter. Fun Mom will go as a counselor. (Crazy, that she is old enough to do that now. ) Little Princess is old enough to go as well.
How will we ever survive without the 3 of them?

Teaching myself out of a job!

Tonight, Fun Mom taught Little Princess to bake cookies. She told her what to do along the way and Little Princess did all the work. She made sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious! Little Princess took her delectables to the TnT Girls Sleepover tonight. Little Princess went for an "all-most" sleep-over. She has science camp in the morning. The other girls must have thought they were delish, cause by the time I got there, they were almost gone.
Poor Flutter Nutter, he was looking forward to leftovers.
But the amazing part of it all is how, the whole process never needed my involvement!
Earlier in the afternoon, Fun Mom took Flutter Nutter to the mailbox to get the mail. Flutter Nutter got sooo excited. "A package for Mommy!"
Fun Mom: How do you know it is for Mommy?
Flutter Nutter: It has mommy's letters on it.
Who knew he was learning to read/recognize the letters of family members' names ? ! ?
I sure didn't.
Then she pulled out another piece of mail and Flutter Nutter got all excited again.
"That is from AWANA! ! !"
Fun Mom: How do you know that is from AWANA?
Flutter Nutter: Points to the word AWANA. Those are the AWANA letters.

Hmmm, Daddy's Buddy learned all his letters from PBS.
Dad has been teaching him to read and loving it.
Flutter Nutter is learning his letters from the big kids and PBS, and is learning to read by just living with us!

I am in awe and wonder.....

I do feed them, really I do !

I walked into the kitchen to find Spiderman - oops, I mean Flutter Nutter, scaling the front of the refrigerator ! ? !
Seriously, no ladder, no chair, nothing but his feet, hands and the refrigerator door.
Why?
He was hungry and wanted the cereal on top of the refrigerator.
Why he couldn't have just asked me?

Hmmm, I am hoping there are no more suprises for a while.
