May. 5, 2008 - Funny Story
I thought I would share a funny story with ya'll and hopefully make you smile!
Yesterday as Nathan was making his toast for breakfast. He was drawing with the honey, drizzling it all around his toast in a sort of very careful fashion. He took a really long time and was very intent on his work. If you have ever met Nathan, you will know this is WAY out of character for him. I was observing him for quite some time, when I asked him what he was doing. His brow was furrowed and he never looked up. "Don't interrupt me, Mom." he said. " I am recreating the life cycle of a cnidaria on my toast before I eat it!" You see, we had learned about cnidaria (or Jellyfish) at science class. Another time I honestly thought that Nathan wasn't listening. He went on to explain the life cycle in all great detail and the weird thing was that I could actually see it in the drips and drizzles of the honey floating on an ocean of butter! I was impressed that he had retained most of the lesson including some of the vocabulary words. I chuckled all day over that.
Homeschooling? Who Knew?

That's great! I have one child that's OCD and he often comes up with the answers to school questions using his food. I find it great comfort in knowing that at least he's learning something (and eating healthy).
Way to go Nathan!
