the start of spring break

i had a whole post almost ready to go but i am not quite sure what happen to it so i will start a new rundown on devon's spring break so far. devon has been great. we went to the rodeo with edy and gavin last week. it was a lot of fun. devon and edy did the haunted house together. devon did several other rides. i would have taken pictures but it seems to be my luck lately that i either don't have my camera with me or the battery is dead. i rented "bee movie" which devon tried to get me to watch several times but i kept falling asleep. devon and i went to incredible pizza which is basically a supped up chuck e cheese. we played two round of golf one following the rules and another just having fun. i found it very humorous that when i was asking devon if he wanted to go to incredible pizza or the movies he responds with "actually mommy i would prefer to go to chuck e cheese" there are many times that devon has comments like this he is not shy when it comes to expressing himself at home. oh, the other quirky thing about devon lately is that he is incredible comfortable with his body. he loves to run around naked and i really do try to allow him to be his own person but there are moments when i think that i would enjoy not having a child that is so open and comfortable about his body. we are working on sight word and learning to read which has been a challenge i think more for me than him. i am not a patient person and it seems that my dear son has that same trait in him. it is not for lack of ability that he is not reading yet but it is the lack of me having the patience to teach. i like to believe that i just don't know what approach is best for him which keeps me from giving him the tools that he needs to succeed. i guess this is where the learning curve come in at.
