Have you ever read a biography of Helen Keller? From all accounts that I've found, once Helen made the connection of the words spelled in her hand and an actual thing (the breakthrough for Helen being water from the handpump), she drove her teacher crazy wanting to know the name of everything she encountered. So it goes with Roman. Our dreaded question is not "why?" but "what's that called?" because it is usually followed by a "what's that do?" Roman wants to know the name of everything and how everything works. Example: I allowed him to have a disposable camera this week. It took only one showing of how to wind to the next picture, and the boy was shooting like a pro. He has taken the camera everywhere, and I mean everywhere - daycare and Michael's craft store, even! At Michael's he took pictures of the Thomas trains that he wants but doesn't have. Nice, huh? I'm dropping the camera off this afternoon to see if any of them actually are decent. Lots with his hand in front of the camera, I'm sure. But he's very proud that he can take pictures.
I don't like to make a big deal out of Mother's Day weekend. I'd rather people acknowledge my birthday. However, it's convenient that the scrapbooking Mega-Meet is always held on Mother's Day Weekend. I am granted by my wonderful husband, all Saturday to browse and shop at the convention! This year my Mom and I are taking a class in projects using "Basic Grey" which is a line of paper we really like. I'm looking forward to it! It's supposed to rain all weekend off and on, so while I'm trying to hold onto my money at the scrapbook convention, the men & boy are going to be puttering around the basement. Lots of little things to be done; painting the train table, putting some trim up, perhaps even finishing off the stair-wall with paneling.
