Mrs. Connie was kind enough to let us crash the church library yesterday afternoon to finish our last book for the summer reading program at church on her off day. Daniel checked out a movie in the Liberty's Kids series & watched it when we got home. I really didn't think he would understand it, but he is getting a lot of it & has asked lots of questions. He calls it the "America" movie. It has fictional reporters going through the colonies reporting on some key events of the American Revolution. His favorite parts, of course, are the calls to fight the Red Coats. He was all into Patrick Henry's speech, "Give me liberty or give me death"! About midway through the movie, he went upstairs & I thought he had just gotten bored, but in few minutes he came back all dressed up as a "Blue Coat" because the "Red Coats" are the bad guys. He did get out his red pajama shirt, though & sometimes changes out to be a Red Coat. He asked to watch it again first thing this morning & is all dressed up again. He is currently on a "mission" to "stop the Red Coats". I LOVE American history & am so excited that I may have a little history buff on my hands! It's time to break out all my 4th grade history books from the attic (see Dan, I told you there was a good reason to move all of those boxes & not throw them away a few months ago!). Jean Fritz, here we come!:)
Had to add these pics to the post........now he has out his pirate ship & is in fierce battle. The Red Coats seem to be winning at this point!
I should note that the upside down stool is the Patriot ship (you know their resources were far inferior to that of the Red Coats! :)
