He's come up with a theme for each grade.

This year (second grade) is all about apples. Apple haikus, apple stories, apple jokes - sometimes he'll even just blurt out the word "APPLE!" for no reason at all.

I really hadn't given it much thought until he announced at bedtime, "There is a theme for each grade."

Apparently, he has given it a great deal of thought. Here's the breakdown:

1st Grade: cheese
2nd Grade: apples
3rd Grade: oranges
4th Grade: donuts
5th Grade: peanuts

The big brother and a couple of friends were messing with Ren's apple obsession over the weekend.

The kid was just asking for trouble.

The apple-hater big brother.

It's good to be outside again, don't you think?

Themes...I wonder where he gets it from?

I'm glad I was the oldest, because it sounds like it can be tough being the youngest some days.

I hadn't even made the connection. Guess the APPLE doesn't fall far from the tree.
