Art

Kyle's turn to impress me with some art:

Exhaustion

Kyle, having received his new Nintendo 3DS for his birthday, found an application for producing stop motion animation and decided to experiment. This (with the addition of titles/credits) was his first production.

I am sure there will be more to follow - enjoy!

Marshmallow Kingdom

Kyle's latest gem: "Imagine if instead of the United Kingdom, it was Marshmallow Kingdom! Then, instead of UK, it would be MK!". I told him that there IS somewhere in England called MK and if he liked we could go there. "But", I warned, "you might be a bit disappointed!"

Football

Well, ‘Grimsby’ (blue team) won both games today, keeping them at the top of Kean league 3.  No goals scored by Kyle this week, though he did have a couple of useful touches of the ball.  I managed to capture a couple of these, seen here:

Brown water

I wandered out of the house to find Pinky Kylo stooped over his little green bucket, stirring something.  I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was making something.  I asked him if it was soup and he replied, “No, it’s brown water”.  He added that the main ingredient for brown water was this, pointing toward a pile of sawdust, announcing that he called this ‘Woodcutter’s hay’.  He then went merrily back to his mixing.  Sometimes I wonder how simple things would be if we all applied the same logic as children!

Red letter day

Kyle scored his first goal in the Kean kids league today and came very close to popping a second one in.  The opposition’s goalkeeper was very good and stopped several good attempts at goal, which sadly resulted in a 2-1 loss on their first game.  However, normal service was soon resumed when Tegan, the team’s star player stepped in to save the day in the second game and Kyle’s team won 7-3.  So one game won, one lost was today’s score-line, but more than that Kyle is really starting to be much more in amongst the action.  A happy Kyle today and a well earned ice cream at the end of it.  Well done Kyle!

Pink

Having been discussing with mum, the flamingo’s colouration due to it’s diet, Kyle had decided that he still liked shrimps and ate a whole big bowl of them.  He announced that he would like some more and mum said “MORE?” In an Oliver Twist’s beadle sort of tone.  Kyle reassured her that it was “OK mum, I won’t turn pink!”
