I picked the boys up last night. Ethan was working on a workbook, something he loves to do. I coudn't help but notice his box of crayons. Check it out...I think every time he uses a crayon, he puts it back in the right spot before getting another one out. Ethan is 4! I know my kids' crayons usually ended up in a bucket or something. And when I was a kid, I was super excited to get the box of 64 crayons but I don't ever remember them staying in order....
This is just another example of how Ethan reminds me of the character Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory! His expressions and seriousness and the way he thinks and you see him thinking...plus the fact that he is very literal and doesn't miss a thing...all make me smile and want to call him "Sheldon."
And then there is Drake....
Aren't we lucky that kids are unique? That we see all kind of children in our jobs and our lives? That we don't have clones in families or clones in schools?
My parents had six kids...all very different. We all found our way in life at different paces, places and paths. But we all made it! Lynne, Roger, Cheryl, Mark, Peg and Kerri: Programmer, Teacher/Computer Engineer, Teacher, Accountant/CEO, Teacher, Accountant. (I see a recurring theme of teachers or math-types!)
We can't fit students into the mold we think they belong. I stumbled upon this video and it seems appropriate to share it here. Enjoy!
