School

So everyday for about a week, Alan has been telling me that he needs to go to school.  Apparently he wants to go to a school by Archer's house (a boy in our ward).  And he needs to walk there.  Never mind that Archer lives 1/2 hour away (driving), and never mind that Alan often wants to go to school at 5pm or on Saturday.  He is very emphatic and says that he just HAS to go to school now.  He brought up a little riding toy from the basement and packed a little lunchbox full of stuff (all by himself), and headed off to school one day.

He got to the end of the driveway and then tried to convince me to let him go in the street, but to no avail.

After he went to bed, I had to peek in his bag...

I always offered that we could do a little school at home, but he would never be convinced.  Finally he relented and we did a little schoolwork of our own.  And he loved it.  And the best thing about doing schoolwork at home is that you can do it in your pajamas.
