Scenes of Garrett

Apparently in G's class there is a new book making station. There is also a list of 'sight words' the kids can use when writing these books.

Today he brought home a book that he made, titled, "I Like". In the car on the way home he was reading it to Grayson.

"I like apples."

I like strawberries."

I like licorice."
Up until then Grayson was listening politely. But then he said, "Eww, you like licorice?"

Garrett giggled and said, "No, I was just kidding."

I was reading Garrett a book today at Nana's house. Scaredy Squirrel. At one point there was a list of all the things Scaredy Squirrel was afraid of- sharks, killer bees, poison ivy, etc. I looked at Garrett and said, "Are you scared of any of those things.

G shrugged. "I'm pretty much not afraid of anything. Except dark caves. And not having anyone else around me."

"Hmm. Not having anyone around you in a dark cave, or not having anyone around you, period?"

"Not having anyone around me, PERIOD!"

Oh my. He's such a middle child! Caves and being alone, huh?

I snuggled him close and kept reading.
