Lists: love 'em or hate 'em!
I'm a lover of lists.
Wylie has inherited this trait from me.
My lists revolve around verbs.
Wylie's lists revolve around nouns.
Clipped to our fridge (on top of previous important lists) is the Wise-man's Christmas list. Last count it had 35 items and climbing. Wylie always goes for the big ask.
And, he's not completely unaware of the challenging times we all find ourselves in economically speaking. Just the other day he passed by my office and remarked casually:
"Mom, holiday shopping is easier at Wal Mart" (having just heard that tag line on a commercial).
Now, lest you conclude my boy is overly materialistic and not centered on the true meaning of the season, I want to let you know he has made many other lists.
Here's a highlight roll:
"Holiday Risk Game Championship: Who Wants to Play" (Kenna's the only one signed up so far)
"Goosebumps episodes I like the best"
"Coming Soon: Friday Night Family Movie Night starring....." (with a list of movies)
"Thanksgiving Day race sign-ups" (yes, you can join that one--meet at City Hall at 8am to run the race with Wylie and me and a ragtag band of brothers...)
And, on the verbal list side, Wylie's current topic of interest is "created by:" names. That is, he can tell you who has created every cartoon and show he watches. He can cross-reference those creators if they have multiple shows and he can often tell you when the show/cartoon began.
Fascinating!
