http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/65c4b5d7.jpgI asked him what it was. �He said "an up and down thing" and started pumping iron. �Wish I knew how to post a little video. �Here he made a machine gun, but he's using it like a rifle. �Poor confused kid. � �http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/bc328f05.jpg
Ok, just two more pics. �He's got the erector set Jr for his birthday. �He put the tires on the rims and screwed most of the nuts and bolts in place. �I tightened one or two hard to reach spots. �But can you believe the whole design is all his very own!! �Ok. �Maybe you can really believe it. �:D
http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/dd5cc68d.jpgI tightened the nut that's blocked by the tire and I snapped the bolts into the rims because he just couldn't after trying. �I told him to pinch and push at the same time but he tried and still couldn't. �But he mounted the tires on the rims and handled most the nuts and bolts on his own. �
He's been playing with the Trio blocks for four days non-stop. �He just got a mess of them for his birthday. �He got the construction Trio sets so he first took the truck part and built a handle on it as tall as he so he could push it around while standing. Then he built blocks between the wheels and the body because dada's always pointing out various SUVs with lift kits. �Which by the way he still calls GPSs because our suburban has a GPS and he still get those acronyms confused. �He also still calls a microphone a "styrofoam" no matter how many times I correct him. Let's see he made two trio sticks and played them like a violin. �He made two vertical sticks connected by a horizontal one at the top. �He tried to connect that to his spiderman bag and call it a suitcase. �Here he is making a quick phone call before he finishes making his "race car" (seen above).
http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/5570e636.jpgAt least this answers the question my brother asked me a few weeks ago, is Wyatt creative? �I had to answer I don't know. �We don't see kids his age enough for me to compare. �He lies a lot. �He'll tell me he can't eat his lunch because there's giants in the kitchen threatening him. �Or that he didn't lose his cellphone, that a monster ate his phone and spit it back in his hand and he hid it from the monster and now he doesn't know where it is. But I'm not sure that's really creative or just wrong.
I mentioned in another thread that we're starting to work on spelling this year and he is starting to do word searches. �That was last week's news. �I sat with him for two lessons saying, uh, �look for "blue". �Look for the B's. Is there a L beside it? �No? �Look for another B. �We're looking for blue, B.l.u.e. �Did you find it? �I see it. �No I'm not going to show you. �You find it. �Ok, here take the marker and highlight it. �Good job.
He found one word on one page without me talking me through it. One word and he said he was done with the whole page. �Oh well. �Good job!
The game of the week is Connect Four. �
