What's the boiling point for a 5-year old, anyway?
Yesterday, on the National Mall.
Simon, planning to run around for awhile after seeing the dinosaurs, catapults down the steps of the Natural History Museum, whipping off his sweatshirt as he goes.
Me: "are you sure you don't want your sweatshirt?"
Simon: "Mommy! I'm so boiling hot I'm about to turn into a gas!!"

Not quite what Gilbert Stewart was going for
so we're doing the kids' activity at the National Portrait Gallery yesterday. Simon has this booklet and he's answering questions about the full-length portrait of George Washington. The questions are like "what is he wearing" and "do you think he's an important person based on this portrait? how can you tell," etc.
On one page there's a list of words, the kids are asked to circle which ones they think apply to George Washington, based on the portrait. The words are like: happy, proud, successful, etc. There's about 25 words.
Simon walks up to the portrait, cocks his head, considers his answer. He comes back to the bench and circles the words he thinks best describe George Washington in this, a most majestic and impressive portrait of the Father of our Country:
OLD and TIRED.

the world wide web
Me: So, I'm starting to think about where you're going to go to summer camp. Summer vacation is 10 weeks long, so you'll probably be at camp for most of that time, then we'll go to the beach. Then for a few days maybe you'll come to work with me.
Simon: I'd come to work with you?
Me: Yes.
Simon: [after a long pause, as he considers this possibility] Do they have Google at your work?
Me: Yes.
Simon: Ok, then.

Simon's reaction to something interesting happening
Photo credit: dl004dHe turned to Sarah and asked: "Are you going to blog that?"
This morning...
Simon [after taking a sip of milk]: Milk has a tiny bit of sugar in it, that's what makes it white.
Me: Actually, milk comes straight from a cow, they don't add sugar to it.
Simon [reading the carton]: Actually, this milk has 6 grams of sugar in it.

just got this email...
Hi Sarah and Jay!
I have been hearing great things about our former Shoe preschoolers. I haven't heard anything from our Simon though?Our new group of kids--they are great. but...none have impressed me like Simon. I'm not even talking about his intellectual ability...but his amazing heart.I'm trying to teach that to our current group. Sure Simon was impressive cognitively but it was his ability to see and feel things from another's perspective that amazed me.Please update me! Let me know how everything is, with you, Jay, and Simon! I am eager to know!
