Innovator

Wm came home today with a blue card.  AND, we got a postcard in the mail today...Wm is this month's Character Club member!  This month's theme is "Innovation."  A student who most displays that character strength is chosen for Character Club.  Wm's name will appear in this month's Elementary newsletter and Wm gets to eat lunch with the principal where he will be provided with a special dessert!  The Big Lunch is tomorrow - Wm is very excited!!!

Aunt Jess sent me this necklace in my birthday package-palooza.  Wm immediately snagged it and is in love with it.  I will be lucky if I ever get a chance to wear it!

You'd think, based on his love of jumping, running, climbing, and other dangerous pursuits, that Wm would have been injured many a time.  But he really hasn't.  Ever.  The school nurse called me today to tell me Wm had fallen at school and bummed up his knee.  It is his worst injury ever.  The skin is actually broken and there was quite a bit of blood, apparently.  It's the type of skinned knee I had every other week as a kid - but Wm is majorly freaked out by his Terrible Awful Very Bad Injury.  When he came home from school, he was all, "Look at my KNEE!  LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!"  I'm mostly sad that he ripped the hell out of my favorite pair of his jeans.  That kid is going to have one pair of pants by the time winter is finally over!
