Wm had his first ever snow day yesterday, so that was fun!! I actually had a bunch of administrative stuff to do at work, so I just stayed home with him and worked from home. I can get a lot of stuff done if students leave me alone! I also finally finished Wm off and became Monopoly Grand Champion. Wm took it fairly well - since at least he beat Steve.
Wm came home from school Thursday and told me he has to do a report on Roberto Clemente. I had no idea who that was, so Wm told me he was a very famous baseball player who can jump 6 feet in the air. Then Wm says, "6 feet. That's as tall as Daddy! That just...not normal." Haha!!! Wm also said some kids at school tease him for being short. So I thought of more reasons being short is awesome. I'm not 100% sure I convinced him, but I think he's feeling better about it! I don't want him to develop some weird Napoleon complex. And, at this age, he doesn't really appreciate my argument that clothes that fit short people are always on sale and this is a huge bonus. I was all, "if you can still fit into kid sized shoes as an adult, you will save so much money! It's ridiculous!" That got a blank stare. But it's so true. And since Wm is still in toddler sized shoes now, it's a distinct possibility. I'm still a kid's size 4.5 (I wear the same size shoe as Wm's BFF). And, let me tell you, shoes are a scam. I can get the EXACT same shoes in kid's and they are like half as much. I told Wm one day we will be the same size and I will steal all his clothes and shoes. He looked truly bewildered and said, "why would you do that?"
