JP Morgan Chase Manhattan whatever it's called is the devil!!

Well rounded

Basketball is over for this year. It was a lot of fun. D's team was 2nd and 3rd graders, and they played against the other elementary schools in the district. They definitely looked a lot different at the end of the season than when they started. For the most part, they stopped being afraid of touching the ball and each other, and started competing (sometimes with their teammates - everybody wants to be a hero). I'm looking forward to many more years of cheering for my little jock.

A couple of weeks ago, D took a magic class at the community center. Now he's signed up for 3 more classes at a different city's parks and rec dept. He loves it, but has not shown me very much of what he's learned. I want to encourage ANY interest he shows in any subject. Even if it means he's hanging out with magicians! I think he spent too much of his life so far in front of the tv or video games and was lacking a certain spark of curiosity and imagination when I first met him. I have seen glimmers of it more and more lately. He wants to take so many classes or play different sports, just like his mom :) On the way home the other night, he asked me, "Do you have a shoebox?" Yes. "If I make a rabbit appear from a shoebox, can I keep it?"
