During our recent snow storm I let the kids play outside with snow paint and I was in the house with the baby. Ava came running up to tell me that Dawson got paint on the house accidentally. I asked him to wipe it off with a rag but never went to investigate. Well, the next day I left to run errands and I saw the carnage on the side of the house. Of course it was red paint! It really looked like a crime scene on the side of the house. Dawson told me "Mom, the paint goes further than you would suspect." But no worries, we went outside together to clean the house. So, good news, we are no longer the murder house.
This story happened awhile ago, but during a conversation Dawson told Mike that Mars is a red planet. Mike said "yes, because it has red dirt." Then Dawson told him "Dad, it's because of the iron oxide." Nothing like being told by your six year old!
Little O! I forgot to mention during your seven month post that you have two teeth on the bottom now, and the top two are threatening to break through as well.
Ava told me recently "Mom if we weren't Catholic I'd really like to be a German Jew." I realized she said this because we have read a biography about Anne Frank and she decided that she wants to be just like her. But still it was kind of jolting to hear!
Dawson wrote some facts about the Titanic and he wanted to share it with Mike, so I took this video. I was surprised, he did a wonderful job spelling all the words independently. I did not help at all, and he copied the word Titanic from a book.
One final story about Dawson, this kid is on a roll lately! Without any prompting from me he decided to write a list for Mike about all the things around the house that need fixed. I did help him spell some words, but he wrote down the towel bar in the bathroom, the curtain hook in the sunroom and the holes in the wall of the laundry room. Then he left the note for Mike in his drawer. Sorry Mike, your honey do list is ready and waiting for you, only I had nothing to do with it!
