The things Boyd says.  Well, if you've been waiting for some more Boyd one liners here it goes.  Yesterday Boyd woke up and the first thing he said was, "I need something." I responded with, "What do you need" assuming it would be his usual answer of "breakfast". Today I received an unexpected answer, "A girl friend". I'm not sure where he was going with this answer so I just said, "Well, you have a lot of friends who are girls so you are in luck."  He shrugged my answer off and I didn't pursue further.  After school Boyd got really busy dressing up like a construction worker and creating a blue print plan to work on with me later with blocks.  I had wandered into the kitchen for something and a minute later he came walking in.  Very matter of fact he stated, "Phew, I'm doing more thinking about this (his construction plan) than I do at school, because at school, I pretty much know everything." Stay humble my son.  It was really fun to watch him plan, build, re-plan and restructure, measure, problem solve and more.  

 Boyd has also been very into drawing and writing, as well as doing school related tasks.  He likes to create question of the days, etc.  Below he brought home his morning message.  He proceeded to read it to us, ask us the question of the day, change the tally count, write letters to circle in the message and circle these letters.  It was the first time he played school.

 Always in costume.  Boyd as Captain America. He is so excited for Halloween festivities.

 As I said he is getting into art and writing.  This is new and I am so excited.  Last night he worked on this fire truck.  He added so much detail and worked very hard.  It's certainly frame worthy.  When he was done I asked him to write his name on it and then I'd write the date. He replied, "Oh I can write the date" and without any prompting wrote the correct date.  Way to go B!

 Later we played with friends in the unfinished part of the neighborhood (always good for a dirt pile and whatever else they felt like leaving around). Today was a gold mine. Actual blueprints, basin type buckets, dirt, and plumbing tubes.  Anyone want to hire this crew to build your next house?
