Magician the Artist

Everyone always tells me I should write these things down so I don't forget them. I always say of course I won't forget them, but I am hard pressed to think of any of the funny and endearing things that SuperGerky said when he was Magician's age. *Sigh* The joys of getting older.

So the other day we find in the family room, RED PERMANENT marker all over my nice off-white carpet. I was pretty - er, put off - to say the least. I call Magician over and I point at it and say in my sternest "what did you do" voice, "What is THIS?" He looks at it, gives me a HUGE grin and replies "It's a SHARK!" He was very proud of himself. It was all I could do not to break into hysterical laughter (although I sure as heck have been laughing ever since). The things that child says.

School is looming for both of SuperGerky and Magician. SG has a super strict teacher, which might be good for him, but I am a bit nervous about the transition for him. Gish will be just fine. He always is. More on all that when they actually start.
