Charlie is in Third Grade this year. We were told by a child psychologist at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital that he would never reach this point. He would "top out" in second grade. Ha!
The other day something happened that floored me. Charlie was telling me what he wanted for Christmas. He wanted a bike. A blue bike. I told him that we would be glad to get him one for Christmas, but he shoudl know that because Christmas is during winter he would not be able to ride his bike until Spring. December, January, February, March -- and then Spring is in April. I told him he would have to wait four months to ride his bike.
I told him that if he wanted, he could get the bike for his birthday in April and ask for something different for Christmas. That way he could ride the bike the day that he got it as a gift.
He said, "I will get a bike for my birthday and I will get a Spiderman Webshooter for Christmas."
Wow. Charlie is really coming along when he can have the self-control and reasoning to make a statement like that. It was very rational. He's not always rational. He cries like a baby when he skins his knees. He sobs.
This was a huge leap for Charlie which shows how far he has come in his thought process.
