And Don't Forget...

...that an important part of every child's education is

Grotesque Faces

and

Blowing Bubbles with Bubble Yum.

Grotesque Faces is something they discovered on their own. That is not something I would teach. It must be on the Y chromosome, along with the need to keep scraps of junk that "could be useful someday." Yes, IJ has joined the pack rat club. Lucky for me, I am his MOM and can go through his desk and throw things away without his permission. I've found old San Pellegrino lids, empty cardboard boxes, and rubber bands stashed away in his room. I'm going to nip that behavior in the bud, before it becomes a problem. I have enough sentimental men in this house!

But Bubbles with Bubble Yum.... that is a useful skill.
