Ma-lak insists that he doesn't know how to smile. I'm nearly convinced that he's right since this was as close as we got. Will have to sneak up on him in a candid moment, I guess!
This guy is blowing me away this year. He is doing so great in school, and is maturing a lot in his behavior. I learned today that he was moved into 4th grade math and reading because he's mastering the 3rd grade stuff!! Yay, Ma-lak!!
On our way to school everyday the kids and I play this little game where I'll ask them a fun random question and they all have to tell me their answers, how they would respond or what they would do.
The other day the question was, "When you guys are old enough to drive, what kind of car would you like?" (I have no idea why that came up, but it was very hilarious to hear their responses!)
Ni'ke decided she wanted a motor home like Grandpa and Grandma's, and Rea wanted the "kind with no roof and no windows". (A convertible? Yes.) Ya'shar mentioned something about a Transformer, and Ma-lak announced:
"When I'm a grown up, I don't care what kind of car I have, but all I know is that I'm going to have TWO cars!!" When I asked why he needed two, he said, "Well, I'm going to be doing a lot of driving around, so it's good to have a spare."
That's my smart boy!
