The school that my older kids attend teaches the importance of lifeskills and every so often the administrators put on a lifeskill assembly. Today, Lowden was awarded a lifeskill award for Integrity because he did such a good job reading a part for the Martin Luther King, Jr assembly. He was beaming when he received his award which always make a parent feel good too.
Which leads me to an opportunity to share something about cute about Lowden. Recently, he's been on a "what if" spree! Everyday he has a new one "what if" question. I can't even catch them all but here are some recent ones he's asked:
And on a different note, this question:"What if some wacky scientist decided to test a fire-breathing device on
me?"
"What if you walked through a doorway and you were suddenly
dressed?"
"What if everything you ever wanted suddenly came down and landed in your
backyard unharmed?"
"What if the backyard was filled with water balloons?"
"What if we got a bunch of skateboards and took off the wheels and then
used them as sleds?"
"What if our whole yard was full of snow and we put all these tricks on
it...you know loopty loops and spirals?"
"What if in DC (the nation's capital) a bunch of big boats came and took it
up into the center of the universe?""What if in 5 seconds you could go anywhere you wanted to for free?"
"Do you think it's hard to rule the universe?"Let me know if you have answers to any of these questions, because I'm lacking brilliant answers to match his brilliant questions. :-)

Oh my goodness, that is to funny and of course way over my head. What if we were able to answer those questions? Makes you think, doesn't it.
Wow what a wonderful mind. My hardest question of the day is mom I am hungry whats for dinner. :) Looks like you had a ton of fun in our winter snow. What a great family.
Wow...he's got a GREAT imagination! And nice job on his lifeskills award. I think they missed one of his greatest life skills...the ability to make people laugh. Great job! I want the door way where you walk through and you're dressed...what if he made that for me? He'd be, like, the richest guy in the world! What if....?
Sounds like you have a budding scientist or inventor on your hands!
When I was young we used to take the wheels off our skateboards and use them as snowboards. You put a bungee cord across the top and it sort of keeps your feet on the board. I spent many fun hours going down hills that way. Lowden is quite the deep thinker.
