Another 6.5 yr old here (early Jan. b-day)!

DS also seems to be a bit on strike. He's been much more interested in drawing and cutting this summer and his creations have been way more intricate, like many multi-headed Hydra, so I suppose it's just something he was ready to do. He's barely reading; he just wants us to read to him. I haven't been pushing it; I'm hoping that he'll get back to reading himself when he's ready.

He is in a full-day camp right now with tons of really cool stuff, so I'm guessing that's part of it.
