Pretty cool, huh? Apparently being around me is tiring. Every body agrees that I am a pretty cool dude but, oh, boy, do they all shake their head when they try to put words under behavior.
My new 3rd grade teacher was ready to start on some meds to be able to handle me. But the Ps decided to have a family meeting about that and this week, she said I was the Dream Student. Yeah for me!

My main passion would be screens, especially the ones where I can play and create. But since this is just a tiny small portion of my days, reading remains the big deal.
This past week, I was late getting into the car and Maman was starting to get mad but, here is what I said that did not seem to sooth her spirit: "But Mom, it's not my fault, I got caught by a book and it would not let me go." ( Mais Maman, c'est pas d'ma faute: j'ai été attrapé par un livre et il voulait pas me laisser partir!")

So, to celebrate being 8, here are pictures of me reading in various places over the past 3 months:

In the first train taking us to Brittany.

Waiting for the 2nd train to Brittany

 For the group picture after the wedding ceremony: I am the only one sitting down!

At Papi and Mamie's place after getting my early birthday present

On the train back to Paris

In my bedroom in the apartment in Paris

In the train going to the Alps

Back at home in my favorite chair

And this last one, I am swimming in books: Happiness
 ( this was staged for a class project that had me show who I was)
