Love Con's Mind

[sereneorange]

You know what is cool about Connor? Lots of things, obviously, but I love that for years the boy adores History Channel and CNN. I thought for a while he was just watching because the TV was on and he adores TV, but he really takes it in. He watches things then talks about them later or asks questions about what he saw. He watches CNN with me almost every morning. I usually leave it on when my sister leaves so that he can continue watching it while Fini gets ready for work. This morning we were watching the bit about the pull out in Gaza. He asked a few questions and then about 6 minutes before I had to walk out the door, asked me why there was all the fighting in that area about some land.

uh.........6 minutes.....tick tock tick tock..

I gave him the Cliff's notes version and tried my best to present both sides of the story. He just nodded and went back to watching the story and video of the soldiers and settlers with interest.

Man, that is one neat kid.

Also, he seems to be enjoying middle school so far. No major complaining and he is over all the nervousness that he would get lost being in a bigger 2-story school. He is enjoying the feeling of maturity.

your kid is cool because you are a good mom.

most parents probably couldn't even give a cliff notes version of what is happening over there.

it felt weird doing that...because it is such a complicated issue..but on the other hand, it isn't....

I am not feeling terribly articulate today
