Just Signed Another Boy

[sharlan]

I've always had girls, very few boys over the years.

I just signed another 8 yo boy, starting tomorrow. Grandma came and paid the first week's few and go the contract for Dad to sign.

Get some hot wheels and big tonka trucks they can push around outside.
8 year old boys love to use their imaginations !
I like to have them write out a story and then they act it out with the other kids. Super heros are very big at this age.
They also love play-do and anything that involves building.
I remember reading that you will have two 8 year old boys now.
I have a homework club box. (oriental trading co.) cheap stuff... yo yo's etc.
Every Friday they get to pick an item from the box if they do their homework all week without me reminding them or nagging them.
Good luck, I actually have three 8 year old boys. I love them , they are so sweet.
Good luck!!

The 8 yo today reminded me of a butterfly, flitting around everywhere. I don't think he played any one thing longer than 5 mins. We were in the pool for an hour, but he was constantly in and out getting toys.

I have TONS of little cars and train sets, Legos, K'NEX, outdoor toys.

I'm sure he will by Friday. Of course, starting Monday, I only have him for 45 mins in the morning, 4 days a week.
