Warriors

November 30, 2011 By morgan

Rachel recently pulled out a checkers and chess set and we’ve been playing 4-year-old variants of both games. The rules are very dynamic, so you have to stay on your toes. For example, this evening we were in the middle of playing “chess” when Milo suddenly announced that he could go forwards and backwards but I wasn’t allowed to move my pieces anymore…

I still managed to pull off a victory, but that story is for another post.

At one point Milo asked me about the horse pieces and I explained that they were called knights. Predictably he asked me what knights were and I said that they were “warriors” who traveled around on horseback looking for other knights to battle with swords and lances.

He thought about this for a second and asked if they were called “worriers” because they were worried about killing other people.

Je m’appelle Milo

Je m'appelle Milo

Milo was “France” for United Nations day at his school last week. His outfit got rave reviews all day and included a beret, black turtleneck, a navy velour bath robe-cum-smoking jacket, une petite moustache, and a snarky attitude.

Milo as "France"

All of the kids brought food from their country and we had a big potluck. Milo brought baguettes, fromage (Brie & Raclette), and grapes.

Lot’s of singing and learning about different cultures.

Sam as Legolas

Legolas

Uncanny I say. My nephew Sam rocks! Awesome Halloween costumes from the Mosher cousins!

So Sam – do you like Legolas because he has “lego” in his name…or what??

Zero means Nothing

Zero means Nothing

Today Milo learned that “zero” means “nothing”…

Looks like we have some new bedtime reading to do.

p.s. – Marie is one of Milo’s teachers – she left this note for us to find in Milo’s lunch bag
