This Kid, on the other hand...

This boy is such an easy peasy kid. He's sweet natured, thoughtful, smart, fairly compliant, predictable, goofy, flexible, easy to motivate, logical and basically just very easy to parent. I'm thinking he's even going to stay that way for the long haul (knock on wood).
Grammy tried to steal him from me yesterday, for the whole night. Luckily Grammy read into my hesitation at the idea and just hung around here to visit with the kids instead. I'm so glad too. I love Saturday mornings (and Friday nights) with this kid. We had the best day today- even though we had absolutely nothing planned.

These are photos from the Spring fundraiser at Christian's school, which I happened to be in charge of, and thankfully it was a wonderful success. Since I'm not in the classroom every week like most of the moms, I took on one BIG project and it would have really been embarrassing if it had been a total flop.

The kids all served dinner to their "guests" which turned out to be the most adorable thing ever. They took orders at their table, delivered the food using library carts and then bussed the tables clean. And they were all so serious about their jobs - adorable I say.

This is one of Christian's art pieces that was on display. I just love the art he's done this year, especially the pen and watercolor combinations and pastels, they are pretty impressive for a kid whose handwriting just became legible in the last school year. This one is a fisherman.Now if I could jest get this one to stop beating on him day in and day out we'd be getting somewhere. I swear at least once a day we have a conversation that goes like this:

C: Aaaaahhhh! (usually twice as loud and way more dramatic than necessary)

Me: Stop screaming, you're just encouraging him.

A: I bite (or hit or kick) him.

Me: Why did you do that? (Better yet, why do I bother asking?)

A: I doan know.

Me: No biting (or hitting or kicking or throwing large objects, just remembered that one). That hurts.

A: Okay.

Stir and repeat.
