Charme-Charme-Chameleon

Wm's Genetics teacher brought in her chameleon and Wm got to hold it!! He was so excited!

I was disappointed it wasn't Wm colored, but he says they only change color when they are threatened. I told him he should have whispered in its ear that he was going to eat it later to try and freak it out, but he wasn't game. He is really liking all his classes. The Genetics class he is in is, apparently, an 8th grade science class, so he's a little freaked out by the workload. He has 60 vocab words to memorize by Thursday. At which time they have a quiz. That he has to get at least 90% on. The pressure's on! But, we talked about how to study and worked on study skills/time management and he's feeling good. FINALLY - some of my skills help Wm!! Curriculum Night at school is this week. I'm pumped!

We went out to dinner and for ice cream with good friends last night. Afterwards, we went back to their place. They have 3 small dogs. Wm LOVED them. He is so far over his fear of dogs, that he was like Jack Hanna with all those dogs all over him. He only wanted to play with them. When we left, he goes, "I remember those dogs being bigger. And scarier. But they were AWESOME!"

Today, I am deep cleaning this place. I sent Steve off for a carpet deep cleaner. I'm cleaning the couch with it, too. This place is going to be sparkling when I'm done!! Flip, unbeknownst to him, is also getting a deep clean. He will not be pleased.

And, lastly, for some reason, this catalog keeps arriving for Steve. I sat down and looked through it today. Best. Decision. Ever. Where else could one buy old timey licorice candies, suspenders, a braided rug, and incontinence underwear? I am now going to mold my entire life around this catalog. Steve hit the jackpot with this one:
