Here are a few pictures from the pottery class Atticus and I took. It just finished up, and we signed up to take the next one which starts in about a month. Atticus said, "I have to keep taking pottery so I can practice and get better."

 

Our first batch of stuff: mugs

 Here's a few other pieces--the little desert scene has Atticus's footprint in it. Behind this is a bowl I made.

 Atticus making a fruit
salad. This was from a couple months back, I think.

He's taken to wearing masks and costume pieces a lot lately, like this old Halloween mask, his shrek ears, and his superhero outfit. He wore the Halloween mask on the ride to school with the hopes of scaring someone.

 

 

Somebody (not me) gave Atticus his first fruit roll-up the other week. He said, "What is this thing? This is the weirdest thing I ever ate! Get this crazy, sticky thing off of me!"

He was so excited about nature walk at school Friday that he muttered in his sleep, "Nature walk. Nature walk."

He is super excited about his birthday. He's been counting down for like eight months now. When I told him I'm baking both a cake and cupcakes, he said, "No fair! I want both!" I said, "You're going to be the birthday boy, so you can have both." He that was the most awesome thing ever, then went on to say that only he can have both; the other kids at his party have to choose one or the other. Later he said, "And if there were three treats, I'd get all three. And if there were four, I'd get all four. But the other kids would still have to choose."
