Working on the last of the four tops needed to make blankets for Moon and Blue's Christmas gifts. (Hopefully, this year's!) It's been fun remembering the boys' passing passions from long ago. Moon's fascination with robots, and how Blue loved his knight figurines and castles.
Moon had a savant like thing for the states and their shapes when he was two and three. He could put the wooden state puzzle together faster than I could, and if you held up the back of one of the pieces of the puzzle, turned any direction, he could name it. During that year he was invited to the fourth grade class (they were studying the states) as a Special Expert Guest Speaker. He dazzled them all. It's funny how this skill slipped away from him.
The dish ran away with the moon, time, and my little boys...
