Ricky starts kindergarten next Monday. This Tuesday he goes in for his assessment test and I am so excited to see how well he does. When we met his teacher this last week, Ricky looked at the wall where she has a big tree full of parrots of different colors and he quickly rattled off the name of each color. She seemed impressed but moved on to the business at hand. I smiled to myself because I’m fairly confident that she thinks he just new the colors of the birds, but I know he probably didn’t even see the parrots and was actually reading the color names labeling each bird! It should be fun!
The camera has been sleeping a lot lately, but it has been pulled out on a few occasions:
1. To demonstrate proper eating etiquette.
2. To show Ricky that Momma climbed all the way to the big Y on the mountain. (I did that with our church youth group during our recent Youth Conference. It was the last day after camping and not bathing. Pretend like I smell good in the picture.)
3. To let Rusty get some photography practice in. He was holding the camera for this one.
4. To get Billy to stop saying, “Momma! Take a picture of me! Momma! Take a picture of me!”
5. To show the world the infamous and terribly happy Spider-Batman!
6. To show that all three boys can like each other when they want to.
7. And, to show that you can pick your nose and you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your friend’s nose unless that friend is your little brother who has no say or control over the situation!
