  • Atticus asked a few weeks back during a discussion about kids losing their baby teeth to grow larger teeth whether kids' eyeballs fell out too to be replaced by larger eyeballs.
  • He asked the other day when I told him he had to eat his broccoli before he could have a cookie, "Why do you get to make the choices for me when I'm supposed to be the one making choices for myself?"
  • He has now mastered the monkey bars.
  • He is doing addition using his fingers. He's very good at it and enjoys it.
  • He dictated some stories to his teachers at school. The first was about a lion encountering a mouse in a forest and gobbling it up. The second was about a lion encountering a mouse in the forest and thinking for a moment that they might become best friends, then changing his mind and gobbling the mouse up. The third was about an alligator eating a dolphin.
  • He's learning about the continents right now at school. He sings a song about them.
  • Yesterday he said out of the blue "Pizza is pretty healthy if it's gluten-free." heh heh
