Today we had to stay after church for a baptism. The kids were all jazzed to see their friend get "dunked." The kids were all standing right up front to see all the action and Rugby and Em couldn't see so I offered to hold them up. After he was baptised-- just as their friend was being lifted out of the water Rugby yells (no exaggeration), "I'm NEVER getting baptised!" There was an audible gasp and some laughter-- I was SOOOO embarrassed. I got comments like, "don't worry, I'm sure he'll change his mind..." or "why did he say that?" and "perhaps you should be setting a better example for him" and "glad it wasn't my kid..." All of which reconfirm just how horrifying his comment was in that silent peaceful moment of newness-- shattered for all time for his little friend. Thanks Rugby. Just in case any of you are also wondering what would cause him to say that... he is afraid of getting his face wet. He won't go under the water in the pool. It was also the source of much embarrassment last summer in his first attempt at swimming lessons. He will splash it up with the best of them in the tub or shower-- but not in the swimming pool. He is 3 and already making a name for himself as the troubled child at church. So no big sinful secret... the kid just doesn't like getting his face wet. I'm sure it'll be a while before anyone at church believes me... thanks Rugby...

Grandma got Rugby a new shirt. He really likes it. Infact, he has worn this shirt the past 4 days in a row. I'm sure you are all wondering if it could possibly be clean-- well, yes it is. It was a freak lining of nature that I happened to have washed it every night and he pulled it out of the clean clothes pile begging to wear it every morning. He is my fashion man that loves to pick out his own clothes and when it's new-- he's gotta have it. Thank you Grandma.
As an extra bonus, it did match the letter of the day at preschool...W. He was in heaven. It was the trifecta red, new, and W. Who could ask for more? (I'm lovin' all the cheese I'm getting from him here-- how cute!)

Breckyn is showing a "non-Newtonian" experiment, which behaves like both a solid and a liquid. Note: The Newtonian reference is referring to his law of viscosity.
(a.k.a. cornstarch and water)
Zoey is showing that the liquid state of the goop.
Just to assure readers, Rugby got special permission to remove the protective goggles, he was having fogging issues. I do not have all the quick jokes that Leca may have, but believe you me we had fun.
How you doin'?
