I keep forgetting to post a conversation I overheard Nicholas and Emma having. Emma was reciting a poem that she was creating in her mind, which can be very scary--never know what she is going to say... Anyway, I don't remember most of what she was saying, but I did catch that she was giving "new" names to everyone, for example, "Cool Charlie, Nincompoop Nicholas, Lucky Luke" When she got to Hershey, called him Fabulous Hershey. Nicholas paused and said in a disappointed way, "Emma, you just totally ruined the alliteration!" I love two things about this conversation. First of all, they are learning things at school and applying it in life. Secondly, my 9 and 10 year olds can have a real interaction without fighting, hitting or tattling! Doesn't happen very often, so I had to document it here!
