Time

Wm got a watch this weekend. Now that he's roaming somewhat autonomously and I say things like, "be back from Isaac's house at 5:30 for dinner," or "you can stay at the playground for an hour," I realized he has no way to measure what I'm saying (because he never actually comes home when he's supposed to!) We were looking for a cheap digital watch, but all the kid's watches had some theme Wm didn't care for (superhero or Frozen seemed to lead the pack). But the adult men's watches were way too big. So, unbeknownst to Wm, he is sporting a ladies' watch. DO NOT TELL HIM. He is convinced he has a grown up man watch. Steve almost let the cat out of the bag and I had to give him the Devil Eye to shut him up quickly. But, anywho, Wm LOVES his new watch and feels very grown up. He wears it everywhere. He tried to wear it to his swim lesson!

I came upstairs to put the little rat to bed last night and found him reading and eating an apple in MY bed!! It was very cute, so I let it slide.  If it was a cracker, he would not have been so lucky!

This Friday, Wm has to BE at school at 6:30am. The 4th grade is going on a chartered bus on a "historical tour of Ohio." They won't be home until the evening. Wm cannot even contain his excitement. He is most excited about the bus, which has bathrooms and TV's. He was like, "I can watch a movie and pee ON THE BUS!!!" His only sadness is that they were told only G-rated movies will be shown. They are taking some kind of canal ride in Coshocton, which sounds AMAZING. He is not even looking forward to it as much as peeing while on a bus. He's killing me. Also, I am not excited about having to wake up at 5:30am to get him there by 6:30. I will be surprised if Wm sleeps 10 minutes Thursday night! Next year, the kids go to a sleep away nature camp for their big field trip. Wm goes, "I'm not sure about that one…"
