Smarter By Myself

Collin wants some dirt on Derek. But I'm afraid of Derek so I'll just think
of some dust.

When Derek was going into Creative Kinder (preschool), he took his supplies
the first day and his Dad went to walk him home and Derek was crying. He
wouldn't tell Jess what was wrong, he just said, "I wanna see Mom." No matter
what, he wouldn't tell Jess why he was crying.

As soon as he got home, he rushed in the door and said, "Mom!! They kept my
Crayons!!" I should have known then that he would be an artist. Of course,
the karaoke "genes" were there early on as well.

When he was about 5 he would walk around the house singing "Did You Happen To
See The Most Beautiful Girl In The World?" It was cute!

When we took him to the Park-n-Rec for swimming lessons, he quit the 2nd day
because he said "THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!!" (All they wanted him to do was
jump off the diving board and get to the side of the pool.) Derek doesn't like
to swim to this day.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!
