Yes. Knickerbockers. That’s Zac’s favourite line. He can’t stop saying that. Know what else he can’t stop doing? Speaking in accents. Indian. Filipino. The latest two he picked up – Italian and Texan accents. And he’s REALLY good with all of them. Apparently he learnt the last one from SpongeBob Squarepants. And he keeps saying, “Rodeo! Rodeo!” With the cushion between his legs and one hand swinging an imaginary lasso. Here’ s something else cute he told me yesterday:
Zac: I HAVE HAIR LIKE JIM MORRISON! But mine is shorter and more crazy.
If he’s talking about JM, under my influence, then I’m an AMAZING teacher. Bahaha. Just kidding. Here’s him when we made goop a few weeks back:
And here’s Nell, the other ex-student I have play dates with:
She was practicing her writing and spelling on the windows with liquid chalk.
There was a point when she and her baby brother Monty would swap bottoms. This is her in his shorts, ready for tennis class.
This was her singing “Diamonds” by Rihanna in this one. She also sang “Pumped Up Kids” by “Fox And The People” as she calls them.
Nell’s thinking face. I think she. is. a. gem.
This is Monty.
Mum: Come on Monty, time to go to the supermarket.
Monty: SKIRT! NELLY SKIRT! I WANT!
On Tuesday, I had my first play date with him.
Monty: RRRRR. Rectangle.
Me: What’s this shape again?
Monty: TRIANGLE!
Me: Oh Monty Bonty!
RACE CAR!! This was him when I first got there btw:
Monty: (fresh out of bed, mum asks if he’s having a play date with me) NO!
Me: (trying to excite him, waving my folder in front of my face) Look what I haaavee… We can paint this race car laterrrr…
Monty: (face immediately lights up) RACE CAR!! I WANT BARBIE RACE CAR! BARBIE CAR!!
I was so surprised he could talk so much while he was driving the cars around and parking them.
Painting the race car after watching videos of children’s songs about cars. Thankfully he didn’t make too much fuss about it not being a Barbie car.
Time to build!
That’s his smile when you show him spinning wheels.
His bunny. He hugs it while we read a few books.
Sometimes I feel like I love doing this more than my actual teaching job.

Haha. Of course! But be prepared – Monty is very strict about which car goes where!
