"You forgot Ah-ma?"

Morning opening, he did a great job with leading the pledge of allegiance. 

All lined up and ready for class! 

After school I brought him to a bookstore. I let him wander and look at what he wanted to (I followed, of coarse). It was interesting to see what he'd stop to look at. Usually a package with a book and craft or art set. He was especially interested with looking at science sets which I thought was cool. He asked me what they were and I'd read the package to him if he couldn't. I told him about creating natural energy and building remote control robots. He said he'd like to get one when he saves enough money for it. Good for him! 

Of coarse he spots the lego stuff and spends quite a bit of time there too. 

He moved on to classic story books and other random books that he liked or had seen at school. 

Every time I thought he was ready to go, he'd stop to look at another book. I just let him take his time, it was nice to see him so interested. 

I stopped to see these cute domos, one was dressed as a panda. How cute! 

On the way home I gave him a piece of pastry bread that I had picked up earlier in the day. He was helping himself to searching the bag. He says, "You got three?"

M- "Yes."

NJ- "One for me, one for Baba, and one for you?"

M- "Yes."

NJ- "You didn't think about Ah-ma! You didn't get her one too? You forgot her?"

Oh dear. 

No more homework since we finished up his open house project already. Plenty of time to play with his favorite toys. 

Mom made us some noodles with vegetables for dinner. When NJ saw me with chopsticks he immediately got up to exchange his fork for chopsticks too. He said to Ah-ma, "I can use chopsticks!" He really enjoyed the noodles. His plate was cleaned. 

Poor dotty hiding amongst the madness of his toy pieces scattered all over. After he went to put his pajama's on, I asked him to clean up. So hopefully none will be lost and Dotty can roam, sit, and lay peacefully.
