Moon chose this yarn for his Christmas socks. He loves the dark reds and rainbow spots, but more importantly, the colorway is called "The Philosopher's Stone", a reference to the world of Harry Potter.
We had our first conference at his new school yesterday. It was so wonderful to have their first sentence be, "Thank you for bringing your child here!". They described him as a "deep thinker". We've always known that. It has not always made things easy for him (or us). It's hard to wrap deep thoughts around young emotions.
A couple of days ago, Moon came in the kitchen with a look. "Can I call you back?" I said to a friend. Fifteen minutes later I reported to her that we had just discussed- racism, white guilt, homophobia, how babies are made, and made dinner!
This thinker of mine, he keeps me on my toes . . . I'll try to keep his warm.
