Life with a boy in kindergarten

No one makes me laugh, cry, and bang on the steering wheel in frustration like DJ. Mostly laugh, though. Here are a couple of good recent DJ antics.

1) I found out he loves the smell of the sewage treatment plant that we pass on our way to school. He'll literally hang his head out of the car window, breathing deeply. All the while, Annie sits next to him gagging and threatening to throw up if he doesn't stop.

2) We started a nice little "true-to-life" novel about a baby rabbit--his choice. When we stopped for the night, he ran to get his new bookmark that he picked out in the school library. He showed it to Kevin, all proud. He said it was perfect for him even though it had cats on it [he's hated cats ever since he was bitten by a dog, go figure], the cats were trying to kill each other with their laser eyes. That is why he picked it.

This kid! We gave him the Discman because he can't handle all the noise in the car at the end of the school day. He listens to old school Psalty albums and it knocks him out every time.
