i am so intrigued by my seven year old...he is sharp and attentive, and brings home lots of little facts and bits of academic knowledge that he is picking up during each day. his teacher would be happy to know he is really listening and taking in what information she is teaching. the other day we were reading a story, and i could tell AJ was thinking about whether it was true or not. i offered "AJ, this isn't a true story, you know that, right?" he added "then it's FIC-TION", spoken clearly, even without two front teeth...i smiled, and gushed~ telling him i was most impressed that he had learned that detail, and he continued to talk about fiction versus non-fiction. super cute. i can only hope that a keen interest in science, or simply school, continues......
then the other day as he was heading out to the rink, the topic of the ice came up, and with it mention was made of rain...well, he launched into a full description of the water cycle, which was mostly accurate too! i contained my grin and decided to later record his description because it is one i want to forever remember. once the camera was running he wasn't quite as elaborate in his explanation, but i think it still captured it well enough...
my little budding science guy, perhaps...
