Another Benefit of Turning Ocho

^^The kid puts on a uniform and he starts acting like this.^^   

But don't worry.  It didn't last too long.

TBone is excited about scouts.  I mean, really excited.  He looks forward to it every week.  Thank goodness he has extremely organized and fun leaders who "understand him."  That always helps.  Now when he shouts out off-topic, borderline obnoxious things at pack meeting he now actually belongs there rather than just being the disruptive little brother of a scout.

On a personal note, it's so nice not having to worry about what to do with him during scouts/YW night.  Beebs always tags along with me but TBone usually wandered the halls of the church to see what everyone else was doing.  I never had any idea where he was at any given time.  I now know.  That's a load off.    PS I also love that Magic Badge stuff.  No sewing.  JBird's badges have held up really well with that stuff too.  Genius.

On another TBone note, he brought home an interesting paper from school.  It was another little fill-in-the-blank type worksheet (my personal faves) called "I Have Plans For The Future!"  Here are his answers in bold:

When I'm in sixth grade, I hope I am smort.
When I'm in high school, I would like to be in a cwiyer.
When I'm 25, I hope I will be maryd.
When I grow up, I would really like to be a casheer.


He's obviously got big plans.  I think they call it shooting for the moon?  Are there places to work that give cashiers benefits?  Just wondering.
