Good morning with Asa

Asa and I had a good morning getting ready for school. We've got a nice autumn chill finally settling in which opens the doors to new (and in my opinion better) wardrobe selections. Asa usually wears a T-shirt to school, but he requested a "school shirt like Ezra" which means with a collar. I picked a rugby shirt which he was pleased with.

While I was making his sandwich, he walked in and asked, "What are these kind of shirts called again?"

I said, "It's a rugby shirt."

He said, "Oh. I thought it was a turtle head."

"Turtle neck", I said.

"Oh yeah. That."

He was so cute and grown-up-looking, I couldn't resist a little spontaneous photo shoot...

Hamming it up, as usual.

This is what he did when I said to lean on the post and look "casual."

And this is him putting his arms by his side and relaxing.

Notice the new paint color behind that smiling face.

Politely asking, "OK, can we be done now?"
