I've got #2 home today. His class is gone on a field trip. He should be on it, but somewhere between home and school a few weeks ago he lost the permission slip and $ to go. Of course he didn't tell me until yesterday, when it was too late to sign him up.
#2 has some money still from his birthday, and it has been burning a hole in his pocket for several days now. We went to the store for him to spend it. He is now the proud owner of 2 Spiderman action figures and a Daredevil poster. He now is playing with the action figures while he watches Spiderman. I think he is perfecting the voices for the different characters.
With him home, and a headache from hell (suspected caffeine withdrawl), I'm staying home from school today. #2 doesn't know it yet, but as soon as I can stand going into a room with light, he will be doing math with me. Isn't he lucky? Learning Algebra ahead of his peers! Somehow I don't think he will see it that way.
