Just another weeknight

Today has been full of funny moments and unexpected surprises. It all started this morning when Gray was brushing his teeth and took a long gulp from the sink after he was done. He then told Michael, "I love to eat drinky things!"

He was so proud of himself and Michael couldn't stop laughing. Then, this evening came the surprises. We had our first Nemo fish fatality which daddy got to address along with cleaning out the tank water. Gray wasn't traumatized and he helped Michael clean the tank, so hopefully that's the end of it.

We were also tasked with our first homework assignment from Gray's pre-K. He brought home the show-n-tell bag where you put something inside and then write clues and draw a picture in a notebook. Tomorrow Gray's class will try to guess what's inside based on his clues.

He decided to take his toy space shuttle (Roger) from the Cars movie and the Tow Mater astronaut that fits inside. His clues are:

  • It's white and black
  • It travels to the moon
  • Flames make it go fast
I tried to explain that he can't tell his friends what is inside until the teacher reveals it, but I have no confidence that will actually happen. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at his school tomorrow. He's the first kid to be assigned the show-n-tell bag so it's all very new and he's learning how it works. 

Another random thing that happened tonight is I remembered we forgot to give Gray one of the gifts we bought him for Christmas. Apparently we hid it so well that it was completely out of sight, out of mind. Whoops! Guess we'll just save it for something else. 

And so completes another evening at our house...
