Hi, I'm new here, and looks like I found the right spot!
We're planning our first WDW trip summer of '08 and I'm starting to scout out info.
Anyway, DS6 is newly obsessed with the dictionary! It's a kid's dictionary, with photos, but definately higher than a 1st grade reading level. His most favorite thing to do is to go camp out on the toilet, with the dictionary. He'd probably stay in there all afternoon if we let him, but we only have one bathroom, dude, you gotta get out!
He was already obsessed with how things were spelled-- always asking me how to spell something-- so the dictionary seems a natural next step. And the upside is, he has yet to miss a single spelling word at school. I think this has great potential, the child is going to need to get a job some day, you know?
The funniest thing he's done lately... my DH takes the boys to school in the mornings and has marked on the calendar which kid gets the "good seat" that day. Sibling thing, fighting over the "good seat". Last week, they were getting ready to head out, and DH said "Let me look at the calendar and see what day it is. Is it Thursday?" And DS said "Yeah, it's Thursday, you need to take out the trash, a******."
Whoops! Don't know where he heard that before! And you know, Thursday is indeed trash day, so the kid was right. But I was about to bust and had to leave the room so he didn't see me.
