My kids are sitting at the dinner table behind me eating dinner, and it’s loud! We have a couple of Harry Potter PS2 games (OK, so they are just mine, but they watch me play) and so they have become quite knowledgeable about the spells. Barrett, my soon to be 4 year old, just yelled “Moco Damus” at his brother which made me laugh because if any of you are familiar with Harry Potter…you SO won’t recognize that spell! He was trying to say “Locomotomortis” which is a freezing spell—but Moco Damus is all he could get out! His other favorite spell is “Pendo” which really should be “Flipendo”, but his way totally rocks!

All of my kids have been different. When Jake was three, I have visions of him pulling my dad’s old golf bags around pretending he was hitting the links. My dad actually made him some clubs his own size and gave him his own bag…he was one of the few 3 year old’s with custom clubs.

That golfing 3 year old starts the 5th grade on Wednesday! I’m not sure I’m ready for that! It won’t be that long before my “Spell-casting” 3 year old is all grown up too!
