Rolling in the Deep

Is it too early for a retrospective? I feel like I need to show the progression that's happening here, with our young Gus. 

In kindergarten he was all about Where the Wild Things Are. And so he chose "All is Love" for his talent show debut.

 

 

In first grade, he'd planned to sing Hey Soul Sister by Train, but when he got to dress rehearsal, he realized someone else was singing that song. So the morning of the show he taught himself this rendition of Baby. And Gustin Bieber was born.

 

 

This week, the second grade Gus announced that he is officially moving on from the Biebs. He wants his own identity. (And possibly a new haircut). And then he asked me with pleading eyes, "How do I make people believe that I'm through with the Biebs?"

Dude.

You're asking me for tips about how to be cool?

And also?

I think you've kind of got it down already:

 

DISCLAIMER: Apologies for the tectonic plates that shifted in my arm during his performance. (Holy personal earthquake. SO can't sit on my knees anymore). And apologies from my camera for the whole INSUFFICIENT DISK SPACE message that popped up right before his grand finale.

The Drive to School

Gus: It seems like everyone in my school likes P.E.

Me: Mr. Streeter is a great teacher.

Gus: Yeah he never wears a mean face.

Me: Do other teachers wear a mean face?

Gus: Well some. Not ... Ms. Barnes doesn't wear a mean face. It's an in between face. She's ... Does pregnant mean you have a baby in your belly?

Me: Yes.

Gus: She's pregnant right now, so it's just a hard time ... She's in an intense place, and she has to eat a lot of Craisins. She keeps a big bag of them on her desk.

Me: I understand.
