Our five year old is taking charge. I know he's been running our lives since he was born... this was more formal. He put pen to paper and set down the plan for Saturday.
Unfortunately it didn't quite unfold like that. A motorbike dinged the car (okay the car might have dinged the motorbike). The trip was delayed a day and after the wave pool we went home BEFORE we bought the sushi. There were wails of disappointment from the master planner - 'we can't do that, that's not what I wrote!'
He'll learn that you can write a list or make a plan but it might not quite come off as you'd hoped.
Oh that is gorgeous! Don't you love him! .... and now you have that special moment recorded forever. I am constantly saying "Thank you Mr Google Blogger for keeping my memories safe". A-M xx
ReplyDeleteOoh, Ann! A classic. I hope you're stashing that away. Joshie has just started writing but I can't imagine him doing a list like that. Not yet. Is he a Virgo by any chance? Or is an organising gene emerging from the gene pool, somewhere? J x
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And what a beautiful photograph.

I use to teach first grade . . . still love young children learning to read and write. Precious note and darling darling child.

that is gorgeous. They do get annoyed when things don't go to plan don't they. I guess routine is a bit of a security blanket. Love the 'bab'.
ReplyDeleteoh no! He sounds just like Elijah - once they have a plan in mind YOU have to go out of your way to stick to it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!I love lists too. Would love to plan my day like that and have everyone fall in to line! Its amazing how many kids love sushi! Such sophisticated palates :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful Ann! Sushi is also one of my kids fav foods. Such sophisticated palates!!! Have a wonderful week :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet! I just have to say what a lovely blog you have. I've just spent 20 minutes reading your great posts with beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI love these precious letters. You almost don't want them to ever change. And he obviously wanted to keep his promise to himself about going on the waterslide. That shows loyalty and commitment. Yes, and what is it with sushi? Even my miss faddy fusspot likes her sushi! xx
ReplyDeleteHow enterprising, and a good writer! Maybe soon he'll learn to get you to sign his plan to guarantee that it will be fully carried out.
ReplyDeleteAnn that is wonderful. I remember the note written with such concentration and so fiercely that the pencil often broke through the paper!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bump and that it mucked up his plans...sorry for you too!

Sushi! Wow I am impressed! So sorry that his day didn't quite go to plan - sadly such is life!
ReplyDeleteThose jolly motorbikes just sit there in your blindspot!
ReplyDeleteSomeone has their mum's writing prowess :o)

That is so cute- my littlest monkey also loves to write 'lists' of what we are supposed to do- He always adds dinner 'menu' items- I WISH they were sushi- more like chicken nuggests.
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you!
