that kid.

today when i picked ossi up from school he told me he has six girls that are friends but no girl-friend because he's not old enough.

the other day he hid under his table in class for so long that all of the teachers and administrators thought they'd lost a kid. mass panic. i keep picturing him sniggering quietly while everyone is freaking out. it's not hard to picture.

the morning of his school jog-a-thon he dressed the part, ate a huge breakfast for extra energy, and jogged around the house all morning to warm up.

a teacher walked up to a group of us parents who had come to watch. she pointed ossi out, not knowing he belonged to me. "you know what kid i just love? that kid. he is definitely pumped, look at his little sweat-band!"

the kid ran 16 laps, the same as his big-brother. and kept his ample enthusiasm the entire time.
