Today is Wm's last day of school before winter break. He is SOOOO excited. One of his fair fish finally croaked and Wm had a very short and very tear-free fish funeral in front of the toilet. His excitement over Christmas totally overshadowed the loss of a fish. And, two more are still kicking anyway! He was amazed that we just flushed the fish corpse. I don't know if he expected a burial or what. But he was like, "You just threw it in the potty??????"
The Wm&Cory Book Club has moved on to a new common read. We are about halfway through Where the Red Fern Grows now and Wm is really liking it! At first, he was having a hard time figuring out why the kid was weeping and wailing over 23 cents. And why the entire family was AMAZED that the kid could save $50 in 2 years. I had to explain that back then, that was big, BIG money. I said, "Did you see how hard he worked to reach his goal? How he saved and saved? And was so dedicated? Then he was SO happy when he reached his goal? That is what hard work and perseverance will do, Wm! You should take note!" He was all, "Meh."
