Calvin's Kicking and Yelling Still But Still a Sweetie Most of the Time

Calvin's learning to read this year and developing a love of sports as well.He's also learning to defect his icecream from parental encroachment. At Left picture of Calvin at the cabin reading from the Bug Bingo Card--no doubt some terrifically difficut thing like Ichneumon Wasp. Running in the underwear in the rain to cool off on a prematurely hot spring day. He's still a terror when he's tired, but thankfully he puts himself to bed. To our great amusement even when he's in the middle of a temper tantrum he will declare he's going to bed and march upstairs. His screams abate and he turn on the water and starts brushing his teeth, then puts himself into bed.  It's a small thing to be thankful, for and something I wish more grumpy people would do--go sleep it off!!  

Here' some pictures of him at his best.
