Dennis was presented with his brand new yellow belt tonight at Taekwondo. He's so proud of himself--he worked pretty hard and tested in front of judges to earn it! We're proud of him, too!
He was very speculative tonight in the car. He posed the questions "what if all the grownups in the world were kids and kids were the grownups? And what if all the dogs were cats and the cats were all dogs? That would be weird!". We got in the car tonight and he noticed the rain, and he said "is it raining all over the world?" which led to an interesting discussion on weather. Then he said "are there pizza restaurants all over the universe?", to which I answered "probably" and he replied "probably so, and probably there are McDonalds all over the universe, too. And Walmarts." Again, I had to agree!
After we watched an episode of his new favorite show, Rescue Heroes (the first television he's seen this week!), I told him it was bedtime. He laid himself across my lap and said "I'm too tired to walk to bed, but I'm not too tired to climb." I informed him that it takes a lot more energy to climb than it does to walk. He promptly replied "I only have a tiny bit of energy--just enough to climb and to wallow, but not enough to walk to bed." I carried him giggling to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and he was suddenly revived (or so I pointed out when he walked to our room after cleaning his teeth). He said "I drank some water--it revived me!". Tonight he is thankful for "being upside down", so I carried him thusly to the Thankful Tree hanging in the kitchen entrance so we could write that down put it in today's pocket. He crawled back to his bedroom, saying he was a little crane and I was a big crane. When we arrived at his doorway, I lifted him (crane-style, with appropriate mechanical noises) deposited him in bed. I am thankful for the hundreds of smiles he brings to my face each day!
