Who are all these costumed characters? Why, it's Spiderman, a little cow, and two snowbirds disguised as Minnesotans. For the latter, we believe the masks are coming off today as Grandpa Bill and Grandma Jo head south for the winter.
Now, for a fun story about a certain preschooler who seemed to be suffering from selectively deafness.
AJ's daycare teacher pulled Jeff aside recently and mentioned that AJ was not listening very well. She actually wondered if perhaps he was having hearing problems.
So that evening, we put it to the test. During a short car trip, Jeff and I had a quiet conversation about bed time treats. From the back seat, a voice chimed in, "I want an ice cream cone for a bed time treat." There's nothing wrong with that boy's hearing.
So our next conversation with him was about why he needs to listen and respond when teachers talk to him. Clearly, he was listening to us, because the next day we received a note from Pam that said:
"AJ had a great day. He listened the first time and kept reminding me he was a good listener. Thank you for talking to him. It made a big difference."
So not only did he listen. He made sure she knew he was listening. I love it!
