Well, Niko has completed six days of school. And, so far, everything is going well in the mornings (despite waking up at 6 am). I am the first one awake, and will wake up Niko, by opening his door and allowing the cat to jump on his bed. Most nights, the cat sleeps in my bed and he has spidey senses and knows that around this time (usually, a bit earlier), to start being annoying and loud. Most of that time, the cat wants attention and by that, I mean, he wants to be petted. He likes it by purring loud, and even has a keep doing it meow. This is what all cats do, right? Despite that, and the fact that I want to get as much sleep as possible before 6 am, he is a very sweet and cuddly cat! He is a wonderful cat to pet while I am reading a book.
On Friday morning, the first out of Niko’s mouth was, dad, can we get McDonalds for breakfast? I was like, yes, if you can get yourself ready by 6:45, we can drive through and eat in the school parking lot.
Next to McDonalds, is a local restaurant called Lake Cafe, and they posted on Facebook they would be closed 9/11 to 9/15. Reason being, was supposedly, Gordon Ramsey was going to be filming a new show for Mom and Pop diners! Well, when we drove by, we didn’t see Gordon, but half of the parking lot was barricaded with trucks and more trucks. Pretty cool. It’s a restaurant we like, so I am curious as to what (if any) changes will be made. Niko likes the smash burger!
For afternoon pickup that day, Nina took him to Dairy Queen as he had a coupon for a free small cone. That coupon was given to him because this summer, we kept track of his reading and turned it on to the teacher on meet the teacher. Well, he logged the most minutes, and was given a a plethora of more free things. An order of fries also happened to be ordered by Niko!
Today being Sunday, means Nina will be making a homemade treat for his school lunch.
Today being Sunday, I am hoping I can get Niko to do something in the world. We tried yesterday, but failed. He had a really valid reason and that being, I am at school all week long, so let’s do something tomorrow. He sat most of the day in the oversized beanbag with his iPad, Switch 2, and my MacBook Air. It was a very productive work day for Niko. Something really cool that Niko has been working on and perfecting is an a site from MIT called Scratch, it’s coding and when completed, it’s a game you can play.
