Parents haven’t been allowed into the dojo during the pandemic; if we want to watch class, we watch over Facebook Live. Luckily, the camera was at just the right angle and Connor stood in the right line for me to screen-capture his spin hook kick today.

Lazer Pointer Thersday
Connor told me last night that he wanted to make this shirt in the morning; I gave him the OK, with the caveat that most of his markers are washable.
When I came downstairs this morning, I had completely forgotten about our shirt conversation — until I saw him wearing his creation. (I didn’t have the heart to mention his spelling errors after he’d already made the shirt). He managed to find a black marker that wasn’t washable, but he could only find a red washable one, “so be very careful when you wash this. Maybe put it on delicate.” I attempted to heat-set his t-shirt art by ironing it, so hopefully it doesn’t bleed too much during the course of the day.
I’ve been wanting to play around with screen printing for a while now… Hmm.
I still have no idea where he got the idea for Laser Pointer Thursday.
Driving to School
I glanced in the rear-view mirror as we pulled up to the stoplight, and had to grab my phone out of its dashboard mount to capture this slice of life.
Current Status: Allergy Testing
We’re tired of just throwing allergy meds at Connor’s runny nose to see what works, so we’re back at the allergist again after five years. Hopefully, the skin testing will show whether Connor’s allergies have switched up over time, and we can come up with a game plan for treatment.
First Snow
My son is outside, making snow angels in half an inch of snow, because it’s the first snow of the season.
