Essence of Kaleb

_mg_3387_edited-1
Current Favorites include Eggs "Venadid", Honey (in and on everything), making his own double (sometimes triple!) AB&H(almond butter and Honey) Sandwich, meeting a schoolmate at the park for some extended playtime, avocado salads with herbs and goat cheese, learning about worm bins at school, wrestling worthy opponants at jiu jitsu, writing "just because" cards to his buddies at school, visiting Neighbor Betty, any Lady Gaga jam, any Johnny Cash jam, the library, getting STRONG!!

Current Goals include painting a monarch butterfuly for his teacher Mrs. Frame, shining his new handshum shoes with his Daddy, buying a toy with the $3.50 he earned bringing in the trash/recycling cans, deep-cleaning the bathrooms (this guy has NO quams with body hair, urine or any of the other pleasantries that accompany a filthy toilet) and sweeping the kitchen floor (in theory) at Target, planting parsnip seeds,learning to play a red guitar like his Dad and Gampy-Boy, reading every Magic School Bus book in existence, and earning Gabby's approval.

Parent Teacher Conference Report:

Has made great strides in confidence and ability to take risks with drawing. (Showed frustration in first couple weeks of school.."I'm bad a drawing! I just scribble.." Now he wants to be an author and he feels really great about all of the stories he puts together. (The genre is strictly aliens and monsters, but that's what sets his heart aflame! What'r ya gonna do?)

Struggles with fine motor skills. He is a boy...He is Kaleb. Nuff said.

Can be SHY... hey, I'll take it. Better than the verbal diarrhea I deal with at home. (Had a bloody nose one day, and he was SO embarassed)

Needs to work on counting. 

Makes machine, robot, superhero sounds on the carpet. 

Mrs Frame said it best, "If he had all of this stuff down, he wouldn't need to be here!"

She loves him, and he makes her laugh. He NEVER  has given her any of his prideful, tough-guy BS, which is a testimony to how completely awesome she is.
