Tonight we had some pineapple, peach salsa. We all thought it tasted a little strange. B said "This is how it is, it starts off really sweet and then it gets way too hot!"
B is very tall for 9 and I know it is hard for him that people always think he is 11 or older. Sometimes he is just that little kid playing in the dirt. I've been teaching an art class at co-op and though he's one of the biggest kids in the 9-12 year old class, he's happy to have a group of 9 year old boys and girls to play with.
One time at the co-op another boy was trying to exclude girls from play. B and lP did not like that. I'm so glad B values his lady friends.
