Elementary School Lessons

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, January 12, 2007 is SKINNY.

Skinny is a word that best describes the son. He is a skinny young boy. As a baby he was very chubby until he got asthma. When he was diagnosed with asthma, he never gained significant weight because when something triggers an attack, he loses weight faster than he gained these. This is the primary reason why he is being homeschooled, his frail health.

Here is my other photo hunt entry.

Have a great weekend everyone! 🙂

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for January 5, the first Saturday of 2008 is delicious.

Most children would classify sweet food as delicious.

Below is my son enjoying an overload of sweets: an ice cream cup in one hand and a cupcake in another hand. This was during Kyle’s birthday party:
