Today for Show and Tell, I've brought a tiny marvel of nature: a single snowflake. I think we might all learn a lesson from how this utterly unique and exquisite crystal turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water, just like every other one, when you bring it in the classroom. And now, while the analogy sinks in, I'll be leaving you drips and going outside." ~ Calvin, from Calvin & Hobbes

My intense little boy
My little Jared is really putting me through some moments of wonder. I can't find a word, he is so different and so intense and so smart and he gets frustrated so easy. When something doesn't go the way he wants he screams and throws things and you can't help him. He doesn't want help, he wants to do it himself, he wants it to go the way he expects it. For example, Legos, he builds neat things but he also gets so frustrated when they aren't right or a piece falls off, then he throws it across the room.
He recently started to write letters and if they aren't perfect he gets really mad, sometimes he wants me to show him how but usually he doesn't. He gets very intense and yells at us and calls us idiots... He yelled at the cashier in Kroger because he wanted 12 stickers and they gave him Halloween stickers and he wanted the regular ones, so they gave him 4 regular ones and he called them idiots. It doesn't sound that big of a deal after the fact, LOL!
There are so many examples that I could come up with if I think hard enough.
He is just intense about everything and I want to be here to help him through the frustrations.
He is so full of energy and life and learning so much at his young age I just want to help him learn how to deal with it.
He gets a lot of this from dh and he says you can't help him he has to figure it out himself :)

B-17 Bomber
The bomber was at Lebanon airport for the weekend. They actually took people up in in for a mere $359, you could also pay $10 and go inside it. We went inside and got some pictures, what a tight fit, it was a really neat experience. This actual plane was not in combat but it is the same as the ones that were. Kieran loves the history of the wars and military.
