Nathaniel’s first grade class did a Wax Museum show this year where each of the kids were given a character and had to learn facts about him/her to then recite at our local library. They also were to wear props, etc. Nathaniel got assigned Harry Houdini. He spent a lot of time learning about the magician and then a lot of time memorizing the text. He could recite it even three months later. But then on the day of, he decided he didn’t want to recite it from memory so he took the paper with him anyway. And his props were handcuffs borrowed from a friend. As with most things Nathaniel does, he got really into it. This is one of my favorite things about Nathaniel. He does everything with so much enthusiasm that it’s infectious. Love you my little magician. Stories from 2016 is a year-long project for 2016. You can read more about my projects for 2016 here.

I read When because I loved the premise. I remember years ago, there was one episode of the TV Show Medium where she could see numbers above everyone’s heads and the number was how many more days they had to live. The premise was so fascinating to me that it stuck with me even after all these years. So when I read that this book had the same premise, I decided I wanted to read it. And I read this whole book in one sitting. It was an easy-to-read story and I enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s a life-changing book and I’ve read many better ones but I still enjoyed reading this one and it has stuck with me even though I read it a while back. If it’s your type of thing, recommended. All of these cards are drawn with the Stabilo All pencil and then watercolors. Card twelve says: Become a priority in your life.

My kids are not the kids who do a ton of activities. With my schedule it’s not possible for me to drive the kids around after school from activity to activity. And my kids like having unstructured free time so I try not to force them to do activities. There are only a few non-negotiables for me:
David’s been taking swimming lessons since he was in preschool. This is 30 minutes a week split across 4 kids with 5 minutes of play time at the end of each class. Which means each kid gets about 6 minutes of instruction a week. At that rate, I’m amazed they learn at all to be honest. Especially because we don’t have a pool and don’t spend our summers in the water. So my kids don’t get a tremendous amount of practice time either.
Alas, slowly but surely, David’s made his way all the way up the swim school ladder. He’s learned all the strokes including butterfly. He’s already well ahead of me, but a part of me wishes he loved it enough to want to join swim team. Alas, he doesn’t. So I promised him that he can quit once he gets this ribbon.
And here we are. Achievement unlocked. Great job, David.
