A Purple Day

Josh has taken to school quickly this year, and today he earned the coveted purple crown (his only explanation was that he was "being really good) for outstanding behavior. I spoke with his teacher this morning (same teacher as last year), and she said he schooled the class yesterday on their daily calendar exercise, when apparently he was the only student who knew which day yesterday was. His obsession with calendars and dates is paying off.

Not unexpectedly, Josh wanted to ride the train to celebrate. Today he loudly announced each stop to the other passengers, who looked only somewhat amused.

Here are some pictures of the kids playing on the lawn in front of Imaginon.

Josh loves the arcade games at a nearby pizza parlor, so tonight we let him play one round of the driving game as a reward for earning the purple crown. He was 10th out of 10 drivers.
