OK. We will start with the dancing. I let Will help cut up rhubarb for rhubarb pie the other day. Then all of his dance moves morphed into chopping motions. He told me he was practicing chopping. Hence:
Favorite activity as of late:
We made an American flag cake for the 4th. Something about Willie: He LOVES the American flag. Anytime we see one, he stops and puts his hand on his heart. We had the chance to go hang out with Dad at one of his scouting camps-Mountain Man Rendezvous. Among many other cool things for boys (throwing tomahawks and knives, setting traps, shooting a bow and arrow, shooting guns, etc.) Willie got to experience a flag being retired. He was almost in tears when they put the flag on the fire. He told me on the way back to our tent that he was glad that he got to see it, but it made him so sad. I told him it was good that he got to experience it, and now he knows how to do it and what it is. He then told me that he is glad that he experienced it so he doesn't ever have to see it again.
Dad gave Willie a pocket knife. Hmmm...Good thing we have accident insurance? (A must in this house) So far we haven't had to use it. Willie is a very careful boy.
And since we haven't gotten to use the insurance due to the pocket knife, why not put a five-year-old on the roof for the afternoon?
