I decided it would be fun to make a list of all of the questions posed onto me by Alan today...(as of 4:32pm)
Do elphants live around here?
Are there any "live" angels?
Do angels wear necklaces?
Is God an angel?
Is Saraswati an angel?
Can grown-ups order kids around whenever they want?
Who was the one who couldn't hear and couldn't talk?
Is Helen Keller a "he" or a "she".
This one isn't a question, but was a comment that came out of no where: "I can make a cat face without a cat stencil."
We had our moments today....Alan was fresh, and I sent him to his room. Also, at the bookstore, he wasn't listening, so I abruptly cut short this visit. It was a complicated situation. He wanted to buy Bob a present, and I was trying to get his attention and listen. When we left the store, he was sooooo mad!!! He thought he was going "above and beyond" for wanting to get Bob a present. When he stopped crying, I explained how he hadn't been listening to me at the bookstore...ANYWAY....
But most of the day was enjoyable.....we continued our paper mache planet project (actually I popped the sun today!)....we went out for lunch, and played music...
In fact, we just finished a jam session - he kept switching instruments - first banjo (the one that Bob made for him), then guitar, concetina, drums and finally the piano. We played Oh Susanna, Bye Bye Ms. American Pie, a few blues tunes, then random compositions involving the solar system. He still is a little bossy when it comes to selecting songs, but he is sort of "getting" it. Practice!! His latest choices are our friend Rich Bala (Barefoot Boys), and Ray Charles....
We are all just hanging out now...the chicken wings were a hit with the boy, so I am taking advantage of this new food choice and just started baking some more... More cornbread, salad, etc.
More later (maybe)...
