Booked

Wm texted me from upstairs (as is his new habit these days) this masterful joke. He was quite proud of himself:

We found out that he has been moved to 7th grade English this semester. So, he's trucking right along!! And he has said, at least 3 times in the last couple months, in Very Serious Tones, how much he loves his school and his new friends there. He said his new friends are even nicer than he old friends from elementary school. He has found a good crew!! Spring break is coming up and we actually match this year since Metro is part of OSU! He's having a friend over for a sleepover, so he's counting down.

For a kid that was scared of our neighbor's King Charles Cavalier puppy a few years ago, Wm has come such a long way!! And, for the record, this is what a King Charles Cavalier puppy looks like:

TERRIFYING DEMON

Here is Wm playing happily with our Hell Hound, being totally unfazed by the jumping and crazy noises he is making:

(For the record, have no fear, that is Flip's "I am having so much fun playing with you - this is awesome!" growl. Not his "I want to rip your throat out" growl. Only the mailman gets that growl. If you ever come to our door, he will also bark and growl then, too. But, that one is his "welcome to my home, I'm so excited you're here...please pet me!!!" growl. This may be why pit bulls have a bad rep! We are able to decipher all his crazy noises, but they probably all sound like imminent death to anyone else. Schroeder, for sure, has never picked up on his "let's play!!!!" growl.)

And here is Steve, having fun with the helium from my birthday balloons!
