...for some more than others.
Today in first grade homework, Lex picked a book to discuss her favorite part of the story as she is learning about concepts like characters, problems, connections and such. Lex's response to How Grandmother Spider Got the Sun: "I liked the part when the spider got the sun. How can inea one get the sun? The sun is faerie hot." Though encouraged to practice second-grade sentences, which are longer and have more detail, Lex subscribes to the writing philosophy that less is more.
Lex, having made quick work of the assignment, demanded dinner. She ate while accompanied by Noah on his newly-tuned piano. Noah also made quick work of his piano assignment, realizing that his sister was eating. Once dinner was over, Noah praised the "details" of the chicken (?) and then engaged in a literary discussion of a new tale Lex is creating about houses that walk when the moon is blue. It sounded far more intelligent to me than anything I've heard in the last few days, which was an immediate alarm to my senses that I need to get out more.
