Through the eyes of a child

The other day Jenessa brought home this paper from school. They were given the assignment to draw a picture of themselves and to write a little something describing themselves. This is what Jenessa thinks about herself.

I got a good laugh out of it. I thought it was funny all of the different body parts that she thought to describe. I think my favorite part was about her short neck. Makes you wonder where and when they start to get certain complexes about themselves.

Grossology

For school the kids have to read 20 minutes a day. Each day we put aside this window of time for them to read their books. Sometimes one of them will read out loud to me for practice but the majority of the time they are reading to themselves. Which is why I didn't notice Trevor's school library book that has been his choice reading material for the past couple of days. So tonight I caught a glimpse of his library book and this is what I saw.

The entire NON-Fiction book is all about Poop. It even has many illistrations of many different kinds, sizes, reasons, etc. Anything and everything that you could ever want (or not want) to know about this subject matter. The only thing going through my mind is why on earth would my son pick out that book???? The only thing I could come up with is boys will be boys. I could never picture a girl checking that book out.

Jenessa's New Do

One thing that Jenessa was really wanting for her birthday was a haircut. So she spent the afternoon with Grandma Barnes "Mama" and Mama took her to get her hair cut. Jenessa had a lot of fun and is super excited about her new hair do.
