Until today, I considered Sennet fearless. I have never seen him hesitate or show any fear whatsoever- sure he has had a few bad dreams but those weren’t real.
Today we took Sennet to his first 3D movie and it was about one of his favorite things- airplanes. The short movie was about an annual airplane race and air show held in Reno Nevada. One category of the race is old war planes from WW2 that have been restored and re-imagined and turned into racing machines. The opening scene of the movie was actual footage from the war of a real air battle both from inside a cockpit and aerial views. Because it was 3d, at times it felt like the bullets from the jets were coming right at us and the the pilot appeared to be jumping into our laps as well.
Sennet was scared. I mean really visibly scared. He jumped into my lap and his heart was pounding out of his chest. Before we went to the movie we explained that things would feel very close and it was just a movie- but that didn’t matter once he was scared. He did calm down once the war footage was over but he was still nervous when the planes were flying right towards him in the race scenes.
Well, now we know that 3D is a bit too much for now. I’m not a fan of 3D anyway- I get the fascination, so it is fine with me. I still feel nauseous hours later.

I took Sennet and Mena to open gym at a gymnastics academy to get some energy burned off because the weather is so dreary. I was even brave enough to take them both out to lunch at a real sit down restaurant. Both went really… more or less.

it was really nice a few days ago and Sennet, Finley and I went to the park for almost 2 hours. Sennet was a sweaty mess. One of Sennet’s school friends, Carter met us there as well and all three of them played well together.

The last few days Sennet’s new thing is that he wants to comb his hair so it won’t stick up. When he comes in the room and his hair is all slicked down, I tell him how handsome he is. Last night before bed he combed his hair and said he wanted to show Meka (Anneka) to see if she likes it. This morning he combed his hair and couldn’t wait to show Noime (his teacher) and when I asked him why he wanted to show Noime- he said “so she can tell me what a handsome devil I am.” He was even so excited to show her that he agreed to have his picture taken!!

The other night as I was putting Sennet to bed he suddenly said,
“The phone is ringing!”
I said, “Well, you better go answer it.”
He ran over to his play kitchen and picked up the silver phone and said hello.
“It’s Aunt D!” he shouted.
“What does she have to say?” I asked.
“She said dragon,” replied Sennet. “And birthday cake.”
He danced around the room with the phone to his ear for a bit and then said,
“She’s on a boat.”
“What?” I asked.
“She’s on a boat with grandma.”
“What else?” I enquired.
“She’s painting. She’s getting me koochata!” (This is how he says horchata – the Mexican rice-milk drink, which he loves)
He did a little twirl.
“Aunt D went swimming. At her house.”
More dancing. I told him we needed to pick out what books we wanted to read before bed.
“Well Aunt D is still talking to me!” he said, somewhat crossly.
