Noah loves school

From sometime in 2006 - On the way to school today, Noah said, "I'm so happy to go back to school." (He had been out earlier this week with a nasty case of pink eye - are there any cases that aren't nasty?) The day before, he asked me to sing "Jolly Holiday" from Mary Poppins "with teachers" - i.e., "It's a jolly holiday with teachers. Teachers make your heart so light."

Revisiting this blog after a false start five years ago. 

Today, Noah is at video game design camp at Wesleyan.  Gina is visiting between conferences in Boston.  Evan is hanging out at home, currently playing with Snap Circuits.  "Oh.  Wow!  Mom!  This is just cool!  That was so cool, right!  Mom, look!  Mom, look!  Mom, look!  MOM, LOOK!"

"I can't look now.  I'm cleaning up lunch."

"Mom, look!"

"You need to leave me alone for a few minutes."

"Mom, look!"

"Tell somebody else, ok?"

"There's no one else."

"Just make somebody up, ok?"

Evan needs to go back to camp.

Evan continues his "obchession" - making us all play regular chess, making Noah and David play Japanese chess, and making Halmoni play Korean chess.  He cheats, but still, he's getting pretty good.  Would be better if he didn't telegraph his plans ("Go ahead.  Take my rook.  I don't mind.  Go ahead.  It's ok.  I want you to.  Really.  Take my rook.")
