We were a few minutes early to school today and had to wait in the lobby until 8am. While we waited I pointed out to Lex the daily question that the principal posts each morning. He writes it on a whiteboard in the lobby and the kids all answer or vote as they come in. Lex read the question (“Should there be a wolf on the new school sign?”) and said, “Yes!” Then he grabbed the marker and wrote “YES” (see it it blue with a red checkmark in between?) Then he danced around with the open marker for a bit while I gently (sort of ) asked him to put the top on the marker before dancing. He said, “I’m not done yet. First I need to make an exclamation point to say that I’m excited!” So he added the ! and then put the marker down. I was bummed that I didn’t have the camera with me at the time, but I brought it at pick-up and took this picture. You can see that lots of people added their comments in the meantime, and in-between his letters :)
I love your stories, Tessa! It must be the fascinating characters you write about. I’m a big fan of exclamation points too!
Love and big hugs, me
He literally looks like he’s possibly in 3rd grade. I mean those of us who know him know his mind is way beyond his years, but in that picture it is even a picture of physical maturity. Good job, parents!!!!! Good job, Lex!!!
While I’m at it, good job everybody!! :-)
