Like Father, Like Son....
The other
day I was telling the babysitter that Theo was allowed to watch one of his
favortie shows while I was gone called Wild Kratts (not surprising an animal
show!). I told the sitter that the show came on between 4:30 and 5:00 and he
could have the tv on then. Theo quickly piped up and said no Mom that is not
when the show is on. I quickly dismissed him and said ‘yes it is Theo’. To
which his response was ‘No, Mom it is on from 4:30 to 4:59. Martha Speaks comes
on at 5:00.’ He was right. I was wrong.
Like father, like son.

Theo is
really into anything to do with animals. He is a walking animal factoid.
Seriously – some of the most obscure facts come out of his mouth.
Well,
yesterday Jack came in and announced that Theo was peeing in the front yard.
Charles quickly calls Theo in. He questions Theo on Jack’s allegation.Without
missing a beat, Theo promptly explained that he ‘was peeing on the termite
mound he had ‘made’ because that is what termites do to solidify their mound so
he wanted to make sure his mound was
built well’. Yes, you cannot make these things up.#lifewithTheo

Respect Your Continent
The boys are learning a timeline of world history this year through Classical Conversations.
Alexander the Great, through some transmutation that only comes through the minds of
little kids, turned into a nickname for Eliot, but as Alexander the Chicken. It’s a game for
them: Eliot runs through the house, laughing, chasing his older siblings, as they yell, “Look
out! Here comes Alexander the Chicken!”
That’s the backdrop for a recent incident. Addie was parading around, talking about
Alexander the Chicken, just like her older brothers. But Theo pulled a 180 on her. He
sternly corrected her, “You need to show some respect for your continent.”
“Theo,” Mrs. Thumb Up said somewhat puzzled. “Alexander the Great’s not from North
America.”
“I know,” Theo replied. “He’s from Europe, but we are Europeans.” Clearly Theo has not forgotten the land of his birth.
Of course, most of our English friends are now puzzled too, since they don’t often think of
themselves as being part of Europe. :)

When I grow up...by Addie Anderson
On the way to church this morning, Addie announced that she knows what she wants to
be when she grows up. “When I grow up, I want to first be a mommy. Then when I’m done
being a mommy, I’m gonna be a princess. And when I’m done being a princess, I think I
want to be Spiderman.”
