Last week, Edison made over $50.00 doing magic tricks in front of the local bakery. Yesterday, we took a trip to the magic shop and he spent $30.00 on new tricks. We also found out about a magic club that meets about 45 minutes from us the last week of each month. I think we'll try to keep that on our calendar.
Last night at the choir meeting, Edison informally performed tricks for some of the choir kids and their parents. I was impressed that he did so well. :-) I hope he keeps up with it, because he does a great job.
He and I discussed future plans. He really hopes to be a performer of some sort. I'm so glad he can be home so that he can pursue his interests. If he were in a school setting, this might not be so easy for him to pursue.
We also discussed growing up. He was surprised to see that some of the kids in choir have grown so much over the summer. Since he's not in school, he doesn't always see this kind of development with his friends. This year, he sees that big change that starts to take place from 13 up. We talked about some of the physical changes that take place when you're a teen. He's started to grow hair on his upper lip. :-)
