Aod's in a great mood today!  We were a split household on the World Cup and his team won!😪 I am doing OK.  Been busy on two GA projects, so I'm constantly trying to keep up on my reading and real life.  How are you guys?

How's Yayo? 

Earlier today I was holding him when the garage door opened. The sound of which scared him so much that he clawed me in his haste to get away. Bits of skin were left hanging off my arm in the aftermath.

We're doing well. We watched The Great Gilly Hopkins on DVD, but I think it may also be available on Amazon digital, if you're interested. 

 

I was also doing some shopping for Max. Specifically, looking for books about boys who dance. Fiction and non-fiction are both welcome, but I struggled to find anything that a ten-year-old might like.

Katherine Patterson was a great children's author.  I used this book and Bridge to Terabithia in my elementary classroom.

I found this online, John Robert Allman's "Boys Dance!"  The only problem is that it is a picture book and may be too young for Max. I also found this site with many suggested books: https://danceparent101.com/great-dance-and-ballet-books-for-boys/#47-dance-books-for-boys-8-12-years-old  This site lists 31 books, but no age grouping: https://mysoncandance.net/2008/10/books-for-young-boys-who-dance/

Thanks, Terry!  You're right, most of the books on the list are written for younger readers. Apart from that, there aren't many fiction books for older boys who like dancing, and non-fiction seems to be pretty limited, as well.

[Page Scrawler]

I already have a book in my collection called My Seventh Grade Life in Tights, but that's more about dancing in general than about ballet. I think the local library has a few books about Vaslav Nijinsky and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Did it pain you typing that?

Absolutely not

Want the truth? I don't care of football or the world cup  it was just fun yanking your chains  

It's just a game, they're paid way to much and don't even have the courage to take position when it would matter the most, are not involved in any great cause and don't let me start on what a shame the conditions of that event were!

Drew, sweetie, I mean even you have to know somewhere deep down inside that when you started nuking wildlife preserves and children’s hospitals that some sort of line from sane to insane was crossed.
