Saturday afternoon Nico started not feeling very good. He had a headache and a tummy ache that ended up with him getting sick. He felt fine and dandy afterward and ate some pizza, and back to normal life after. Just one of those things!
This week at school is Dr Seuss week! Monday was Green Eggs and Ham day, so he was supposed to try eating something new. I sent Lima Beans to school with him :) He ate two bites! Tuesday was wear blue day, or a shirt with your favorite animal on it. Wednesday was class picture day so it was "Well dressed Wednesday". Today was crazy mismatched sock day.
Tuesday after school Nico had a dentist appointment. Nico asked the dentist when he could get his front tooth fixed because it was chipped. The dentist told him it would be better to wait until he's older, because front teeth have ridges on the bottom that wear down over time. The dentist then casually mentioned that maybe they would fix it around the time Nico gets his orthodontic work done. That was the first I had heard of it, so I made sure to ask him about it. He said that Nico has an overbite that will need to be fixed. They typically like to see a 10% overbite but Nico's is 100%. Oh! Ok. Just the night before Nico had asked me, "What is head gear?" and I had told him all about orthodontics. He'll be 12-ish when we start to pursue that.
Tuesday morning I also received a call from the nurse telling me that she had forgotten to pass on Nico's vision test results. They tested his vision as part of the gamut of testing they did. His vision is "borderline referral", so she suggested it might be a good idea to get his eyes checked. Nico in glasses eh???
Today Guy went to Nico's school to read Nico's class a Dr Seuss book during their library time. He chose Oh Say Can You Say (a family favorite!) He had fun doing it. He read the book using different accents. I got to hear a preview when Guy read the book to Nico last night. And then Nico took the book to bed with him and read the entire book out loud about 5 times. Tongue twisters are fun.
Last night Nico told me that today they were celebrating July birthdays and that we could bring treats to share if we wanted. So today I made a double batch of snickerdoodles and sent them with Guy when he went to the school. The party started right after the library time, and Nico got to share cookies with the class. Guy joined his class for the party. He told me that one of Nico's classmates asked, "What kind of cookies are these?" Guy told him they were snickerdoodles and he said, "I've never heard of snickerdoodles, is that the same as schnitzel?"
Guy told me that the librarian took a video of a portion of his reading. I have been following the school Facebook page and they have been posting pictures/videos of the guest readers this week, so if they post it on Facebook I will get it somehow so that I can share it with the blog next week!

Rough housing. Guy shoved Nico between the wall and the bed, then called me over to see. hehe.
Drama class is going well. He is successfully memorizing his lines. We've been practicing every morning. I'm so proud of him!
His reading adventures this past week include Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. He checked out the next one today at the school library. He always reads a book while he eats breakfast.
That's it for this week!
