Fridays are for fanboys
Feb. 10th, 2012 09:32 amI am totally jinxing myself by writing this, but...
The Emperor has been so awesome this week. He's reached his goal on his behavior chart at school every day so far, which means that he's had full privileges (TV, computer, video games) at home.
A couple of nights when I've gone in to check on him before I went to bed, he's fallen asleep with his glasses on, with books under the blanket, meaning that after we've tucked him in and turned out the lights, he's waited until we've gone downstairs to retrieve his glasses and books to sneakily read in bed. Theoretically I should punish him for that (for getting up after he's supposed to be sleeping, setting himself up to be overtired the next day, and potentially breaking his glasses by sleeping in them), but he's so damn cute, conked out with his glasses on, and really, punishing him for reading is anathema to me.
This morning, he started riffing on "Weapon of Choice" while watching some Pokemon, and cajoled me into letting him watch my vid before we left the house. There is almost nothing more adorable than a seven-year-old trying to keep up with Fatboy Slim lyrics, whisper-sung in his own garbled phonetic translation, and bopping along to the beat.
I am so lucky, you guys. Hope your Fridays are off to as a great a start as mine.
