This story is a couple of months old. I believe from the end of September 2008. Lex is 7 years old and in the 2nd Grade. Lex and I were traveling in the car. I can't remember where exactly were were going, but I do remember that I will drilling on Lex on his Spelling words for school.
"Lex, can you spell SPACE?" I say.
"S-P-A-C-E," Lex relies.
"Okay, spell TRACE", I continue.
"T-R-A-C-E".
This continues for 10-15 spelling words. Each time I get to a stop sign or a stop light I look into the rear-view mirror and give Lex a smile. He smiles back from the backseat. I can tell by the way that his spelling is getting slower and slower though that he is getting bored with this spelling game.
Finally, we reach a stop sign and Lex gets all dramatic. He pretends to take off a an imaginary hat or helmet. "Okay, enough! My thinking cap is off...I'M DONE."
Geez. I was only trying to help. I never told him he had to use his "thinking cap." LOL
