Before school Declan likes to get in a little play time. One morning this week he decided he'd build a Lego fish tank. Clever little Monkey he is.
On Wednesday I volunteered three hours at Declan's school for 'Scientist Day'. I led the Marine Biology table and got to show the kids cool stuff from the ocean. The best part was it included showing the kids a real salmon head and two dead squid. Fun seeing which kids got right in with their hands and which wanted no part of it. Declan did touch them both but I'm sure having me there helped him to be brave.
Declan likes to wrap his finger around each other and claims this is how he's going to get in the Ripley's Believe it or Not books.
After school one day this week Declan told me there's TWO Declan's at his school. He heard on the announcements that they said Happy Birthday to Declan and it wasn't him so there's another one!
Today was Mother's Day. My monkey made me a cute card and painted a shopping bag for me. It's amazing and fills my heart how much he likes to draw pictures of him and I. We also ventured down to Gramma's house so that he and I could bring her flowers. He fell asleep for a short bit on the drive home. When we got in the driveway he opened and then quickly closed his eyes. He unbuckled his seatbelt with his eyes closed and then told me "I'm still a little bit asleep so you have to carry me." I gladly carried my little boy in the front door. So lucky to be the Mom of this little guy.
