Frank and some interesting ideas
2/8 - We are into playing pretend camping again. So I set up the little tent in his room and we started to put things in and all huddled in there with a picnic basket and books. I got a pillow. Out of nowhere Frank says “Skunks fong pi (farts) alot.” He peeks out the tent and says, “No skunks outside the tent.” Then he tells me “they moved to where is cold, like Russia. Russia is cold right mommy?” I said yes. Later back to the skunk topic but now they have been eaten by alligators.
We are writing Valentines this week for all the kids in school and one for Timmy too. Timmy goes to the toddler playgroup and comes home with a free Valentine book. Frank wants it. So Frank said, “Timmy let me have the book.” Timmy says “NO” Frank says “Then I won’t give you a Valentine present. No one will give you a Valentine present if you want that (book).” That is pretty cruel. Good thing Timmy just ignores him.
We are also doing some Chinese words with Chinese New Year coming. Frank has been reading some books with a little boy that talks about the chinese characters looking like pictures. So we were tracing words from 1 to 9. Afterwards he told me the 8 looked like person in the Xiao Ming book. Something is being absorbed.
