Nico came home with a cabbage plant on Friday. The entire 3rd grade class was given a cabbage plant. They are supposed to grow them for 8-10 weeks, and then harvest them. After harvest, they are to be weighed and then pictured. It's a statewide thing (although they may do it in more than just Idaho?) The teacher chooses the best of her class, and enters it into a drawing. The winner gets $1000 scholarship. Nico named his cabbage plant "Leafy", and Jeff & Allicia let us plant him on the side of the house over by the back gate, on the other side. We planted him on Saturday.
As of today, he has one less leaf, and two of his other leaves are a tad eaten up. I mixed up an essential oil spray that he can use to repel pests, and we will give Leafy some plant food to help him grow.
Our church wrapped up their 24-hour Prayerathon by having an hour of corporate prayer with music and testimony on Saturday afternoon. All of us went. Afterward, it was time to start pizza! We watched Three Stooges, it was Nico's choice, and because Jeff & Allicia and family were out of town, we were able to watch it downstairs! The boys prefer the "New York" style crust, so that's the kind I've been making. (I prefer it too!)
Nico also spent some of the weekend working on his research project. He is transferring his data to Google Sheets, which he was already familiar with because he uses it at school. We were able to log in with his school email address and access his Google Sheets from home.
Monday was his first night of swimming lessons. The downtown YMCA is a maze and Nico and I easily got lost trying to find the pool. It was a fun adventure and we finally made it. When Guy took him to his lesson on Wednesday, he picked up a map for me. Now we have a route of attack for next time, because after all that I still wasn't able to locate the locker rooms! But now I know where they are.
Nico asked me to put him into a swim CLASS and not private lessons. But for his first class, he was the only one there, so he got the instructor's undivided attention.
On Wednesday he told me that he wanted to do swim lessons EVERY day. That is quite a switch from where he was a week ago.
Nico has pulled out his Pokemon cards again. Him and I played an hour-long game on Tuesday after school (pictured below).
He has also been going through his huge binder of cards and alphabetizing them.
Next week is Nico's drama performance! He is excited. He has to wear all black so I just ordered him some black sweats and black long sleeve shirt from Amazon. He is King Lobster so I think he'll be in a lobster costume. Can't wait to see him perform!
I suppose that's it for this week!
