Today isn't a post about what you said but what your teacher just said (in an email) to us.

Hello Morris Family,

     I hope you are having a great day! I just wanted to take a minute to say what a joy it is to be Everett’s teacher. He is such a sweet and bright boy. He pays attention in class and loves to work hard and learn. Today we were talking about speech bubbles and punctuation. He was so focused on the lesson and I am very proud of his participation and work ethic. J

Kindly,

Stephanie Burke

** you make us so proud and we love you SO much, it is nice to know that others see how special you are too

Today we were driving and a current song called "7 Years" by Lukas Graham was playing on the radio. The lyrics are "Once I was 7 years old..." and you thought that was such a ridiculous and obvious thing - why even mention it?! From the back seat I heard "of course! Of course he was 7 years old!"

Then when I asked about what you were meaning you said, "of course he was 7 years old. (chuckle) I guess he is just letting us know?"

*The lyrics go on but you didn't listen to the story they were telling, you just heard that one absurd statement  :)

This afternoon we were going to sit down and play a game together. You asked me, "are you finished working for today?" I responded by saying "no, I am never finished working." I didn't know I was being set up... you replied, "well, then you set this (the game) up because I am done working for today."

Oh my...

This evening I was talking to you before bed about why you act so shy around your teacher when I am there. You hide behind me, don't answer her questions, and don't look at her like I know you do the rest of the time. I encouraged you to talk to her and asked why you didn't today. You said, "well, I don't really know how to talk to women."

You really are so funny.

You went on to say, "how old is she? Did she tell you how old she is?"

You just came in from the backyard where you were playing with Emily. You said, "we are playing a game, Mama. We are playing King and Queen.  We are playing King and Queen and after we that we are going to play something that I want to play." haha, putting in your time, little brother. What a sweetheart

This morning under the Christmas tree you remarked to Nana and Daddy how you were so pleasantly surprised that you were on the good list since, as you said, "I picked my nose last night!"
