Student of the Week

Caleb is student of the week. Which, in case your child has never done this, involves making a poster about the kid and what they like. Nikki LOVED doing this when she was in school. Caleb took a little coercing before he was even willing to work on it. Once he got started, though, he rose to the occasion:

Me: What's your favorite color?
Caleb: I don't know.
Me: Just pick one.
Caleb: Orange.
Me: Great! Here's an orange pen. Let's write orange.
Me: What's your favorite thing to do?
Caleb: I don't know.
Me: What do you think is fun?
Caleb: Playing baseball.
Me: GREAT! Let's write that.
Caleb: Hey! That's not a "y". Where's the eraser?
Me: Um, there's no eraser for markers. It's okay.
Caleb: No! [goes over the letter to make it look more like a "y" than an "x"] There.
Me: [Sighing in relief] Where is your favorite place to go?
Caleb: [awkward silence]
Me: What's your favorite place you've ever been?
Caleb: Disneyland.
Me: GREAT! What do you want to be when you grow up?
Caleb: A space man.
Me: Okay, this is how you spell "astronaut".
Me: [Knowing this is going to be rough] If you could wish for one thing, what would you wish for?
Caleb: I don't know.
Me: It can be anything. What would you wish for?
Caleb: I DON'T KNOW!!!!!

So here's the finished product:


Good times.
