I love it!! (reminds me of when my then-6yo DD attended the practices for a grad student in my group who was preparing for her dissertation talk... she kept asking questions about whether the relationships in figures 'had mechanistic explanations, or were they just correlative at this point...'  ) I finally told her that she had to be quiet, but the grad student (who had known her since she was two) just laughed and said "no way-- she's right. I'm glad she said something." Still, I learned not to take her into doctoral seminars with me.

Oh, Michaela, that's so funny! I take it you will be hiring this fabulously unflappable babysitter again?

(Hmmm, let let me think about that one... ok... YES.)
DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!

My DS8 is wonderful, lets start there. He is also emotional, pig headed and a pain in the butt. You all know what I mean.
About two weeks ago, he morphed into someone I don't recognize. All of a sudden, his room is clean, he has stopped debating everything and is the posterr child for fabulous!
This morning, as i'm making the rounds getting everyone dressed, I find DS8 helping DS5 get his shirt on. I finally had to ask "what's going on with you? Where's my son, the cranky one?" He laughed at me and said quite simply "I've decided it's time for me to grow up." With that he turned back to his brother.
Did they put something in the water or what? I LOVE IT!!!

Before I could finish my question DD raised her hand and asked "Mommy, are you talking about the microwaves in the ovens or the ones that are in outer space?" ...Now, why is it we have her in third grade????????? I'm so proud that she raised her hand! And great question, BTW Smiles, Grinity

DD 8.5 won a 'building' competition at school today. Her teacher is trying so hard to find new activities to incorporate in the class to engage DD and let her shine. Today they had twenty minutes to build a tower from straws and connectors and then were graded on height, sturdiness, originality of design, etc. DD and her partner got 190 points and their tower was one meter higher than all the others (second place was 127 points). Such a small little brag, but it is HUGE for her. She is flying high and so proud of herself. She put a lot of thought into building a sturdy base and strategically taking straws out of bottom levels to add to the top to make it higher. Just listening to her talk about it made me wish she could get this engaged and excited about school on a regular basis. Sounds like her teacher is starting to figure her out, though.
