Our first parent-teacher conference and Halloween
Today, we had our first parent-teacher conference. Turns out he's doing well in everything (though he is only at grade-level in gym, which shows up as a B in the online system...), enthusiastic about school, and friendly to his classmates. His math teacher noted that he sometimes spins while they're learning, but he apparently pays attention while doing so (since he answers questions accurately).
For Halloween, Jonah is dressing up as a Zombie Jedi. This morning in the car, he asked me to tell him a spooky story. So I told a story about Zombie Jonah and a skeleton going to battle a vampire and a werewolf who were trying to eat trick-or-treaters. Jonah's solution was to direct the vampire and werewolf to eat "bad kids" instead (at a jail!). Then, he met a big blue monster who wanted to eat cookies (which Jonah quickly identified) and then Elmo. Jonah suggested that Elmo and the skeleton come back for dinner at his house. (A lot of the stories I tell him end this way.) "Elmo loves brains!" was totally my idea, though. Jonah disagreed and decided that Elmo should be served pasta, while Zombie Jonah and his zombie family ate brains... But Elmo tried tiny bites of brains, said Jonah.
Speaking of Halloween, mornings have been foggy (other than this morning). Jonah saw two red lights in the fog on Friday morning, and decided they were monster eyes.
