He already speaks quite a bit of Spanish (more than I ever did even when I was taking Spanish). One of those audio kits on languages would be a good idea! When I worked in child care, we had this 3 year old girl who could do the entire opening song of Beauty and The Beast even though half of it was in French. I was so amazed because sometimes I couldn't understand her English and yet here she was speaking French.
Dude! Freaking out because a kid climbed a tree?
Idek. My cousin's kid is 12 and they treat him like such a baby. They won't even let him walk home from school and he lives like 5 blocks from the school. I was already steadily babysitting other people's kids by the time I was 12 and they won't let him stay home alone. I don't know what his dad's position is on all this but both my aunt and my mom keep telling me how 'immature' the kid is. I am like, "Maybe if everyone would stop treating him like a baby, he'd stop acting like one."
And the funny thing is, we used to climb trees all the time and my mom never freaked out then. We used to do insanely dangerous stuff like tying a skateboard to the back of a bike and then someone would sit on the skateboard and the bike rider would pedal as fast as he could down the steep hill that lead into the trucking route road. We were allowed to do that but this kid isn't allowed to climb a tree?
"meh, not my kid, not my problem, not my head, I'm not your damn server, you want to bang your brains out, feel free" and she went for a walk with lil' sis. :-D
Good for her!!! My mom and my aunt are always trying to reprimand other people's kids and it pisses me off. I am a big fan of "not my kid, not my problem," when it comes to misbehaving children.
