- For dinner on Wednesday 2/4, I asked you to eat the veggie ravioli I made that evening. You made a throw-up sound after it was in your mouth. Either you dislike veggie ravioli or that was really good acting.
- Conversation you had with your Dad when he picked you up at school on Monday 2/4:
Patrick: Can I have three tic-tacs, Dad?
Dad: You can have two.
Patrick: Can Owl have one?
Dad: No, owls don’t like tic-tacs.
Patrick: He says he does.
Dad: He doesn’t, Patrick. I’m sure.
Patrick: Owl says he is sad.
Dad: Oh, Owl isn’t sad - he is happy for you because you got two tic-tacs
Patrick: (Pause and in a quiet voice) He isn’t THAT happy for me.
- You play rhythm and pattern games with us like you are a human Simon, and you are really good.
- The first ice of the year came the evening of Monday 2/16. You stayed home from school on 2/17 and went to play at Sharon’s house on 2/18. Then snow came the next week on Tuesday 2/24 and again on Thursday 2/26. Its been an icy, cold month.
- Elephant is home! Your father found him behind the television cabinet in the living room (as he was in the process of disconnecting our cable this month but I digress.) There was a knock at the front door and there he was hanging on the mailbox waiting for a hug.
- Michael came to town this month from Juarez! He loved seeing his house across the street for the first time, but loved seeing you more. He brought you a present from Russia and when you opened the box you said, “oh matryoshka” like Russian nesting dolls were a part of your everyday life.
- One of my favorite conversations we’ve had this month was when you pretended that Owl was a bat. “He sleeps during the day and is awake at night,” you informed us. Your father said, “that is called nocturnal.” You thought about this fact for a moment and then said, “Well, I sleep at night and am awake during the day, so I’m turnal,” which is obviously the opposite of NOT-turnal. How smart.
