Owen's "Blog"

I was staring off into space tonight as Owen did his homework -- he was writing four sentences using their newest "wall words." (Oh, and by the way, they're writing sentences in kindergarten! Remember when it was about learning the ABCs and how to tie our shoes?) But anyway, my eyes fell upon Owen's bulletin board. He's had it for a year or so and the displays on it are constantly changing. In fact, they're probably a pretty good reflection of whatever is important to him at the time.

For instance:
Wednesday - This paper is one of a set of seven. Owen changes it every morning.
December - This is one of a set of, you guessed it, 12. At the end of November, both months were on display, because we were "getting ready for December." These also represent Owen's recent cardboard phase when he was seeking out any and every piece of cardboard in the house as possible canvases for art.
2t - This is to represent that it's the 2nd. (Though Owen realized, in the middle of supper, that he hadn't updated it to be the 3rd.) I haven't yet figured out what the t or plus is supposed to mean. Tonight, when Jon suggested going back to using a real calendar, because "do you really want to have to write a new date every day?" Owen replied, "yeah, I do."
Season and weather - They're a bit hard to see in the photo, but the small squares on the right side represent winter and that it's snowing. The squares on the left are the other season and weather options.
The triangle - That's a Brewers pennant, tacked upside-down because "the Brewers aren't on until April."
Cutest costume - At a Halloween party we went to, they had a costume contest and Owen's caterpillar won him the "cutest" category. Don't you think Nora' shark should have won the scariest award? Tee hee.
